The State of Home Care Hiring: Hiring Trends in Q3 of 2025
Home-care providers launch Hawaii-chapter Inside the Home Care Association of America with Kristen Wheeler: Advocacy, AI & Workforce Insights Want to be featured? Send in our own agency's celebrations to us here to be included in the HCAOA newsletter. Your feedback helps us make each HCAOA Conference even better. Please take a few minutes to complete the post-conference surveys linked below as well as the ones in the conference app. Your insights on sessions, speakers, and overall experience are invaluable as we plan future events.
Take the surveys by Friday, October 31st and help shape next year’s conference!  As new members of HCAOA and first-time conference attendees last week, one message came through loud and clear in nearly every conversation at our booth:
 Planning is underway for the 2026 HCAOA National Home Care Conference that will be held at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld in Orlando, FL on September 28-29, 2026, and you can already secure your spot!
The Home Care Association of America – Illinois Chapter (HCAOA-IL) is seeking input from all Illinois Home Services Agencies regarding their experiences with IDPH regulatory surveys.
Your feedback will help us better understand common challenges, trends, and areas where additional guidance or advocacy may be needed. The survey is open to all Home Services agencies, not just HCAOA members.  Dell Technologies is excited to share an important update that makes it even easier for HCAOA members to access exclusive Dell benefits through the Dell Business Partnerships program.
 Bo Hodges, a caregiver with Right at Home, Marble Falls, TX, was announced as the 2025 HCAOA Caregiver of the Year today LIVE at the National Home Care Conference.

The New Jersey Department of Labor has released proposed regulations for the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights (DWBR), and the comment period is now open. We strongly urge all NJ members to review these proposed rules carefully and submit comments before the deadline.
HCAOA will submit formal comments to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in response to its 2025 Request for Information (RFI) on noncompete and related employment agreements.
In our comment, HCAOA will emphasize that noncompete clauses are rare in the home care industry and that most agencies sometimes rely on limited direct-hire or non-solicitation provisions. These clauses protect client continuity and help agencies recover training and recruitment costs without restricting caregiver mobility. Susan Oderwald of Newtown, Conn., HCAOA Connecticut Chapter chair of the transition plan advisory committee, and owner of Always Best Care Milford, recently received an official citation from the Connecticut General Assembly in recognition of her retirement after 12 years “of commitment and dedicated service…to compassionate in-home care and assisted living placement for seniors [that] has made a lasting impact on countless families and left a legacy on the community.” Congratulations! Please see a video of National HealthCare Associates Director of Business Development Danielle Ramos receiving the citation on behalf of Ms. Oderwald from state Senator and Deputy Majority Leader James Maroney (D-Milford), Co-Chairman of the General Law Committee.
As you know, the federal government shut down recently because Congress did not approve a funding plan by October 1. As a result, about 750,000 federal employees classified as “non-essential” are now furloughed (i.e. put on temporary unpaid leave).
Republicans and Democrats still cannot reach agreement on what to do next. Meanwhile, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought has started dismissing thousands of federal employees. These layoffs have significantly affected the Department of Health and Human Services, particularly the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.) However, some dismissals are being reversed because of “coding errors.” These additional firings are not required under law when a shutdown occurs. |
