7/12/2023

2 Comments

 
HCAOA recently reported on a new study that found that many home care agencies may overestimate how engaged and fulfilled their caregivers are with their work: 73% of agencies said caregivers feel fulfilled, however, caregivers are three times more likely to experience anxiety and depression than the average U.S. population. We offer a solution: recognition. You can show your caregivers just how much you value the important work they do by nominating them for the 2023 Caregiver of the Year Award. It's easy - the nomination form is just four simple questions.
