As home-based care continues to be the preferred care delivery method, it follows that companies delivering these services, as well as vendors in the space, would see growth as a result.
With this in mind, it’s no surprise a number of companies working in the home health, home care, senior care and health care technology industries earned a spot on the latest Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies.
In order to determine who makes its list, Inc. 5000 ranks U.S.-based private companies by examining their financial growth percentages, comparing 2019 and last year.
Some of the standouts include ShiftMed, a company that raised $200 million in funding at the start of the year. The company is making moves to expand its footprint, too.
Another standout — HomeWell – made waves, last year, when it removed its initial franchise fee for new owners looking to enter the home care franchise market.
Telehealth companies like CareBridge and Electronic Caregiver also made appearances on the list this year, among several others. Home Health Care News examined the ranking to highlight 25 of these rapidly growing companies below.
