The demand for direct care is far outstripping the supply of workers nationwide, a problem worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Without a strong direct care workforce, families and caregivers face increased pressure to step in and deliver care that is often insufficient to meet the complex health needs of older adults and people with disabilities. Both care recipients and direct care workers deserve our support to improve the system for all.
In Part 2 of NCOA's Public Policy webinar series, learn what's happening in Congress to address the nation's burgeoning direct care workforce crisis. And hear how NCOA is addressing this challenge as well.
Speakers:
- Ramsey Alwin, NCOA President & CEO (moderator)
- Brenda Sulick, PhD, NCOA Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer
- U.S. Sen Mike Braun, R-Ind.
- U.S. Rep. Lisa Blunt-Rochester, D-Del.
