The Institute and the National Alliance for Care at Home Release 2025 Hospice Chartbook

This new report kicks off a series of research on care at home in the U.S. 

(Alexandria, VA and Washington, DC) — The National Alliance for Care at Home (the Alliance) and The Research Institute for Home Care (the Institute) are excited to announce the release of the 2025 Hospice Chartbook. Highlighting the vital role that hospice plays in caring for an aging demographic, the Chartbook provides a look at the patients being served in hospice, who they are demographically and clinically, and more.

Now in its second year, the 2025 Hospice Chartbook, co-sponsored by the Alliance, provides an overview of national patient and workforce data with an emphasis on state-specific information and trends, including key data on hospice patients and providers, Medicare spending on hospice, and more.

“The 2025 Hospice Chartbook offers one of the most comprehensive and timely views of hospice today — who is receiving care, how the benefit is used, and the impact it has on patients and families,” said Jennifer Sheets, Alliance CEO and President of the Institute. “This is the first in a series of Institute research reports co-sponsored by the Alliance to illuminate the full care-at-home landscape, with home health and Medicaid HCBS analyses to follow.”

“Care at home is preferred by patients and families, increasingly high-tech, and saves our healthcare system money,” Sheets continued. “We know it is part of the solution to fortify the future of healthcare, serve our aging population, and combat a diminishing Medicare trust fund. Data like what is included in the Hospice Chartbook is critical to ensuring the public, policymakers, and providers understand our current state and where we can go.”

On March 5 at 2 p.m. ET, the Alliance and the Institute will host a webinar on the Hospice Chartbook findings alongside data from the soon-to-be-released 2025 Hospice Facts & Figures report from the Alliance. This webinar will share critical data and insights impacting the hospice community. We invite Alliance members and members of the media to attend this important conversation. Registration is open now through the Alliance website.

Over the course of March and April, the Alliance and the Institute will be releasing a series of research reports from the 2025 Hospice Facts and Figures report to additional Chartbooks on home health and Medicaid HCBS. Stay tuned to the Alliance for release announcements and support the future of care at home by considering a contribution to the Research Institute for Home Care.
