About the Pennsylvania Homecare Association

The Pennsylvania Homecare Association is a statewide organization of homecare and hospice providers. PHA members, some 245 strong, are active, productive members of communities they serve. They not only provide quality care, but also serve as advocates for their patients and clients on a variety of healthcare related issues.

The importance of in-home services in our state is ever increasing. Did you know Pennsylvania has the second largest age 65 plus population in the United States, second only to Florida? According to the 2000 U. S. Census, nearly 16 percent of the state's 12 million residents are over age 65. Some national surveys estimate that one in ten Americans over the age of 65 will use homecare services at some time. As a result, the need for homecare continues to grow.

PHA and its members work hard to improve professional standards and ensure access to quality homecare throughout the Commonwealth.
