Background: This study aims to investigate whether certain demographic factors of patients receiving home healthcare (HHC) interventions have any positive impact on mortality. Methods: the study included all patients who were enrolled in the HHC program in a referred medical complex, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between the years 2017 and 2020 (593 patients). Results: A total of 6548 HHC visits were received during the study period. From the total number of visits, 3592 (54.9%) HHC visits were scheduled in the year 2020 compared to 157 (2.4%) scheduled HHC visits in 2017 (p &lt; 0.001). The most successful HHC visits were provided in 2020 compared with the year 2017 (2193 vs. 132; p &lt; 0.001). The cancelled HHC visits were observed to be the lowest (194) in 2019. Three explanatory variables of mortality [age, having a major diagnosis (diabetes mellitus, cerebrovascular diseases, and bedridden), and having more cancelled visits] made a statistically significant contribution to the logistic regression model after controlling for other variables. Suffering from cerebrovascular diseases and/or bedridden were the strongest predictor of death in patients receiving HHC. Conclusions: During the 2020 pandemic, there was a sharp increase in HHC compared to previous years. Three significant explanatory variables of mortality [age, having a major diagnosis (diabetes mellitus, cerebrovascular diseases, and bedridden), and having more cancelled visits] were reported.
