Nursing Home Workers Quitting in Droves
Overworked and underpaid, staff in nursing homes have been leaving facility jobs in favor of homecare or other careers, entirely. And this was pre-Covid.
The pandemic of the past two years has exacerbated the exodus of healthcare workers from nursing homes and assisted living facilities. What were already bleak working conditions, have been spotlighted by Covid as high-risk, understaffed, and lacking adequate resources and training.
Truly dedicated care providers have been drawn to private homecare for the direct one-on-one client relationship, the opportunity to see real and lasting impacts from the care they provide, and to earn significantly higher wages.
