PHI Report: State Policy Strategies for Strengthening the Direct Care Workforce
PHI has released a new report, "State Policy Strategies for Strengthening the Direct Care Workforce."
More than 4.6 million direct care workers in the United States support older adults and people with disabilities with daily tasks and activities across care settings. This workforce comprises three main occupational groups - personal care aides, home health aides, and nursing assistants - but workers are known by a variety of job titles in the field.
The report compiles 24 specific policy strategies - with concrete examples - for improving direct care job quality and stabilizing the workforce. The strategies are organized according to the eight comprehensive solutions outlined in PHI’s signature report, "Caring for the Future: The Power and Potential of America’s Direct Care Workforce."
