The conclusion to the caregiver recruiting guide
The need for caregivers is rising, and will continue to do so. However, there are significant hurdles that Home Care Agencies are facing when it comes to finding qualified caregivers. Home Care Agencies need to have systems in place to overcome the challenges of recruiting and retaining caregivers. Long hours, poor communication with managers, lack of educational advancement, and inflexibility are some of the reasons why caregivers are difficult to find and retain.
The National Association for Home Care & Hospice president William Dombi told CNBC, "We are on the edge of a crisis. We are not prepared for what's coming. Our concern is that the demand is going to outstrip the supply unless we see some dynamic changes occur."
It is imperative for agencies to change recruiting and hiring practices in order to make sure the demand for caregivers matches the supply available.
