-- Amid a booming U.S. home healthcare market projected to reach $107.07 billion in revenue this year and grow at a 7.4% compound annual rate to $176.3 billion by 2032, Freedom Home Care, LLC, a trusted provider of compassionate in-home care services in southern Minnesota, is expanding its personal care offerings in Owatonna and Mankato. This strategic growth addresses the escalating demand for elderly support, where seniors aged 65 and older now comprise 17.5% of the U.S. population—a demographic expected to surge 47% to 82 million by 2050. To bolster its team amid widespread industry challenges, including caregiver shortages reported by over 59% of home care agencies, the company is launching a robust recruitment program to hire dedicated professionals committed to enabling seniors to age in place.

The preference for aging in place (home care) remains overwhelmingly strong, with 90% of seniors favoring their own homes over institutional settings, and nearly 86% of home health patients being 65 or older. This aligns with broader trends: only 1.3 million seniors lived in nursing homes in 2022, a figure underscoring the shift toward community-based care that reduces hospital readmissions by up to 23% through integrated telehealth and personalized support. In southern Minnesota, where local families grapple with these national shifts, Freedom Home Care is positioned to deliver timely, affordable solutions that honor this choice for independence.
Building on its A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, Freedom Home Care offers a full spectrum of services, including personal care for activities like bathing, dressing and meal preparation; companion care to foster social connections and combat loneliness; and home health options such as nursing and physical therapy. Every plan starts with complimentary in-home assessments by registered nurses and care managers, customized to individual and family needs.
"We started Freedom Home Care rooted in the belief that home is where dignity and joy thrive for our seniors," said Chris Mihm, Founder and Owner. "With the home care workforce projected to add over 800,000 jobs through 2033 due to 21% growth, yet facing persistent shortages, our recruitment program is a proactive response. It targets passionate locals with competitive wages, flexible hours, and specialized training—like dementia certification—to build a resilient team that meets this unprecedented demand."
The initiative features employment opportunities in Owatonna and Mankato, open to experienced caregivers and newcomers alike. Freedom Home Care's emphasis on work-life balance and professional development has already drawn positive feedback from early applicants.
This expansion is vital for southern Minnesota, where about 60% of older adults need home visits and over one-third require daily or psychological aid. By enhancing personal care capacity, Freedom Home Care shortens wait times and promotes holistic well-being.

"These trends aren't just numbers—they're the stories of families choosing quality time over relocation," Mihm concluded. "We're proud to lead with heart, ensuring every senior in our community can age gracefully at home."
