Running a Home Care agency means wearing a lot of hats — and let’s be honest, one of the heaviest is hiring and keeping caregivers. The industry is growing, turnover is high, and competition for talent is fierce. Here are some stats that every Home Care owner and operator should have on their radar:

1. Turnover Is Still Sky-High

• The average caregiver turnover rate in Home Care hovers around 60–65% annually.
• That means if you have 30 caregivers on staff, you’ll likely replace nearly 20 of them this year.
• The top reasons caregivers leave? Pay, lack of career growth, and scheduling frustrations.

What this means for you: retention isn’t just nice to have — it’s survival.

2. The Demand Keeps Growing

• By 2030, the U.S. will need an additional 1 million+ Home Care workers.
• Home Health Aide and Personal Care Aide roles are projected to be among the fastest-growing occupations in the country.
• Families are looking for agencies that can fill shifts quickly and consistently.

Translation: speed-to-hire directly impacts client satisfaction and revenue.

3. No-Shows Hurt More Than You Think

• Agencies report that up to 50% of scheduled interviews never happen because candidates don’t show.
• Each no-show costs time, delays client care, and burns out your office staff.

Agencies that implement automated reminders and confirmations see no-shows drop by as much as 60%.

4. Time-to-Hire Is a Competitive Advantage

• The average time-to-hire in Home Care can be 3–6 weeks.
• Agencies that streamline their hiring process cut that down by nearly 50%.
• Faster hires mean fewer open shifts, better caregiver morale, and happier clients.

5. Candidate Experience Matters

• 73% of caregivers say the application process influences their decision to accept a role.
• Long applications or confusing systems turn good candidates away.
• Agencies that simplify the process see higher applicant-to-hire conversion.

What You Can Do

• Track your no-shows and put systems in place to reduce them.
• Look at your time-to-hire compared to industry averages.
• Audit your application process — would you want to fill it out on your phone in five minutes?
