The 2026 Senior & Home Health Care Marketing Outlook
In October 2025, Advance Healthcare Marketing surveyed 500 U.S. medical decision makers responsible for healthcare choices for elderly parents, spouses, or grandparents. Our goal was to understand how these caregivers search for, evaluate, and ultimately select home
health and senior care services.
This whitepaper translates those insights into actionable strategies across digital content, cost transparency, trust-building, and multigenerational marketing.

Our survey found more than half of orthopedic patients are coming in for non-surgical treatments and spine/back care. Joint replacements, rehab and recovery, sports medicine, and pediatrics all follow — but the mix changes dramatically by generation.
Orthopedic decisions don’t start in the exam room anymore. Headed into 2026, patients are relying less on physician referrals and more on the same behaviors they use to choose a mountain bike or a new pair of shoes.
