Home healthcare equipment and services in the US have become a very important part of the healthcare industry over the years. The increasing hospitalization costs has increased the demand for low-cost alternative, which in turn, has resulted in the emergence and growth of home healthcare facilities for the elderly, sick and disabled in the country. It has become a fast-growing competitive market, driven by the aging population who have shown a preference to receive care at their homes.
