ABSTRACT
Currently there is a crisis in the long-term care workforce, as many workers experience poor pay, a lack of training, burnout, low quality working conditions, and physical strain, which is leading to a workforce shortage. To address this, the Alzheimer's Association Dementia Care Provider Roundtable (AADCPR) convened a panel of direct care workers to discuss and provide direction on their view of the current state of the workforce. From this panel, five touchpoints for hiring and retaining direct care workers were highlighted high quality jobs; recruitment and reputation management; onboarding; retention; and training and career advancement. In addition, the DCPR put together a set of standards to follow to meet these needs, which includes promoting staff dementia education opportunities, creating recommendations around peer mentoring programs specific to dementia care, and increasing inclusion of direct care workers in decision-making and plans of care. HIGHLIGHTS Presents the current state of workforce in long-term care. Provides five touchpoints that long-term and home and community-based services should implement for hiring and retaining direct care workers. Recommends a set of standards to follow to meet the needs of the workforce within long-term care.
