Why We Need to Save Connecticut's Direct Care Workforce
On Thursday, May 21st in the Legislative Office Building in Hartford Senior
Resources Agency on Aging released a new report on shortages in the direct
care workforce. The report examines the state’s growing shortage of direct
care workers and the impact on older adults and people with disabilities.
The Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute reports the need for 4 million direct
care workers nationwide by 2016; a demand that exceeds the need for
teachers in grades K-12 (3.8 million), registered nurses (3.1 million) and
waiters/waitresses (2.6 million) [source: http://phinational.org/issues/growing-
demand/)].
“This coincides with the anecdotal information we’ve collected,” confirms
Lisa Reynolds, Planner for Senior Resources-Agency on Aging. “There are
simply not enough direct care workers to meet the growing demand;
unfortunately this could mean that some may not get needed care. Our report
provides information and alternatives that can help,” she adds.
By 2030 it is projected that the elder population in Connecticut will increase 69
percent. At the same time, the shrinking pool of traditional direct care workers
will decrease by 10 percent, contributing to the gap in care. Older adults and
people with disabilities are the largest consumers of direct care services and
may be particularly affected by the labor crisis.
Several Community Forums on the Direct Care Workforce Shortage are also
scheduled:
