AB In  2011,  an  estimated  1  in  20  community-dwelling  Medicare  beneficiaries  in  the  United  States  were  completely  or  mostly  homebound.  This  incidence  will  continue  to  rise  as  the  number  of  individuals  reaching  older  age  outpaces  mortality.  As  people  age,  they  typically  experience  a  higher  burden  of  chronic  diseases,  symptoms,  and  functional  limitations,  all  of  which  can  contribute  to  homebound  status.
