Empowering Women at AdaptHealth: 4 Essential Retirement Strategies to Consider

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for AdaptHealth AdaptHealth primarily partners with various healthcare providers to deliver home healthcare solutions, including respiratory therapy and durable medical equipment. Specific partnerships may vary by location, but AdaptHealth collaborates with hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 In 2026, healthcare costs are anticipated to rise significantly, fueled by a combination of factors including the potential expiration of enhanced premium subsidies from the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which could leave millions facing drastically increased out-of-pocket expenses. With insurers requesting average premium hikes of approximately 20% nationwide, and some states experiencing spikes exceeding 60%, more than 22 million consumers could see their monthly premiums swell by over 75%. The outcome of these rising costs could severely limit access to affordable healthcare for middle-income families, as they grapple with the cumulative impacts of increasing medical costs and reduced financial assistance.

Preparing for retirement at AdaptHealth can look a little different for women than it does for men. Although stereotypes are changing, women are still more likely to serve as caretakers than men are, meaning they may accumulate less income and benefits due to their time absent from the workforce. Research shows that 31% of women are currently or have been caregivers during their careers. Women who are working also tend to put less money aside for retirement. According to one report, women contribute 30% less to their retirement accounts than men.

These numbers may seem overwhelming, but you don’t have to be a statistic. With a little foresight, you can start taking steps now, which may help you in the long run. Here are three steps to consider that may put AdaptHealth employees ahead of the curve.

•  Talk about money.  Nowadays, discussing money is less taboo than it’s been in the past, and it’s crucial to take control of your financial future. If you’re single, consider writing down your retirement goals and keeping them readily accessible. If you have a partner, make sure you are both on the same page regarding your retirement goals. The more comfortably you can talk about your future, the more confident you may be to make important decisions when they come up.
•  Be proactive about your retirement after AdaptHealth.  Do you have clear, defined goals for what you want your retirement to look like? And do you know where your AdaptHealth retirement accounts stand today? Being proactive with your AdaptHealth retirement accounts allows you to create a goal-oriented roadmap. It may also help to adapt when necessary and continue their journey regardless of things like relationship status or market fluctuations.
•  Make room for your future in your budget.  Adjust your budget to allow for retirement savings, just as you would for a new home or your dream vacation. Like any of your other financial goals, you may find it beneficial to review your retirement goals on a regular basis to make sure you’re on track.

• Retirement may look a little different for women, but with the right strategies – and support – you’ll be able to live the retirement you’ve always dreamed of.
