PHI Report: Federal Policy Priorities for the Direct Care Workforce
PHI has released a report, "Federal Policy Priorities for the Direct Care Workforce," that offers an extensive and detailed set of federal policy recommendations for the direct care workforce.
Throughout the country, millions of direct care workers—home care workers, residential care aides, and nursing assistants—ensure that older adults and people with disabilities have the support they need across care settings. The report proposes federal policy recommendations to strengthen the direct care workforce across eight issue areas: financing, compensation, training, workforce interventions, data collection, direct care worker leadership, equity, and the public narrative.
The report offers nearly 50 concrete recommendations for the White House, Congress, and key federal departments and agencies. It also includes recommendations for navigating and learning from COVID-19.
