Amidst a rise in demand for long-term care services, providers continue to face challenges in locating sufficient workforce.

Quick Summary:

Some states have made efforts to bolster the workforce, such as requiring a percentage of providers’ Medicaid reimbursements go to direct care worker wages.

Demand for direct care workers, who make up the bulk of the workforce, is expected to grow 41%.

Overall demand for full-time workers in long-term services and support settings is projected to increase by 42% between 2021 and 2036, according to the federal Health Resources and Services Administration.
