As the United States population continues to age, the number of younger people caring for and paying for facility care will create an inverse pyramid, resulting in a significant rise in demand for long-term pharmacy care at home. This trend is driven by several factors, including the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, advancements in healthcare technology, and a growing preference for aging in place. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that six in 10 adults in the United States have at least one chronic disease, and four in 10 have two or more. Over the next decade, long-term pharmacy care at home will play a crucial role in ensuring that individuals receive the necessary medication management, coordination of care, and positive outcomes to promote their wish to age in their homes.
