HCAOA CEO Jason Lee recently spoke about the state of the home care industry with Nicky Reynolds, Marketing Communications Manager of Rosemark. Lee discussed the challenges facing the home care industry and the association’s legislative efforts. He highlighted critical issues such as workforce recruitment and retention, with many agencies struggling to find and keep qualified staff. Lee also discussed the implications of the Medicaid Access Rule, which mandates that 80% of funding be directed toward wages, a regulation that may not fit all states uniformly and presents various implementation challenges. The simultaneous rollout of multiple rules, including Medicaid, Overtime, and Non-compete Rules, has added to the complexity of navigating the industry’s regulatory landscape.
