How can we make caring for older adults desirable work?


  • Abstract

    Older adults need a high functioning and dedicated team with the appropriate training to provide the best care and social support so they can have the best years to come. While many people enter these professions with a commitment to serve older adults, we need to recognize and reward their dedication by investing in their future via increased wages and benefits and new career pathways. Solutions to the workforce crisis in caring for older adults are many, so now we need the political will to make them a reality.
