The Growing Opportunity in Long-Term Care at Home

In today’s ever-changing healthcare landscape, independent retail and combo-shop pharmacies face both challenges and opportunities. One of the most promising opportunities? Long-term care at home (LTC@H). With an aging population and increasing patient demand for aging in place, LTC@H is rapidly becoming a critical area for pharmacies looking to grow their business while meeting community needs.

This is your chance to step into a expanding $100 billion market and position your pharmacy as a trusted provider of essential services.

What is LTC@H?

LTC@H is the practice of delivering specialized, patient-centered pharmacy services to individuals receiving long-term care in their homes rather than in institutional settings. These services go beyond filling prescriptions—they include medication synchronization, compliance packaging, and ongoing patient support.

By offering LTC@H services, you not only enhance patient outcomes but also unlock opportunities for higher reimbursements and sustainable revenue growth.

Why is LTC@H Growing?

Several factors are driving the rapid growth of LTC@H, including:

• Aging Population: The number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to nearly double by 2050, creating a surge in demand for home-based care.
• Patient Preference: Most seniors prefer to age in place, maintaining independence and comfort in their homes.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Home-based care is often more affordable than institutional care, making it a preferred option for patients and payers alike.

This growing demand presents an incredible opportunity for pharmacies to fill the gap with high-quality, patient-focused services.

What Does This Mean for Independent Retail Pharmacies?

As an independent retail or combo pharmacy, you are uniquely positioned to offer the personalized care that LTC@H patients need. Here’s how LTC@H can benefit your business:

• Higher Per-Script Revenue: By providing specialized services, you can access potentially higher reimbursements.
• Deeper Patient Relationships: Offering home-based care fosters trust and loyalty with your patients.
• Sustainable Growth: Diversifying your services with LTC@H can future-proof your business in a competitive market.
