Homecare Homebase announced the release of The State of Home-Based Care in 2026: Operational Strategies for Margin, Capacity, and Compliance, a new industry report that reframes the central challenge facing home-based care organizations, not demand, but operational execution. The report provides executive and clinical leaders with a practical, data-informed view of how reimbursement pressure, workforce constraints, and evolving regulatory requirements are reshaping care delivery, and outlines concrete operational strategies agencies can apply across intake, scheduling, care delivery, documentation, billing, and analytics. Drawing on regulatory analysis, industry research, and insights from HCHB’s dataset, the report emphasizes operational excellence as a critical driver of financial resilience, capacity growth, clinical quality, and compliance, while also highlighting early progress with HOPE measures and the role of AI and automation in reducing administrative burden and supporting better decision-making at the point of care.
