 Should your agency consider offering more training opportunities for your caregivers and staff? More and more workers are finding the value in continuing education and other types of nontraditional training. According to the Survey of Education Attainment, a new national survey from NORC at the University of Chicago with funding from the ECMC Foundation, "more than 70 percent of the American workforce report completing at least one nontraditional, postsecondary training program—such as a certification, continuing education, or an apprenticeship."
In the several years since CMS permitted Medicare Advantage plans to offer home care as a supplemental benefit, HCAOA has been encouraging members to keep this on their radar as a potential new source for revenue. It’s been a slow start, but today 296 Medicare Advantage plans cover home care - and that number is growing. The time is NOW for home care agencies to develop an action plan to get involved with these networks and open up a whole new revenue stream.

Supply and Demand: The Widening Gap Between the Need for In-Home Care and the Number of Caregivers5/5/2021 
Home care agency owners are well aware that one of the biggest issues in home care today is a shortage of caregivers - coupled with a rapidly aging population, this leads us to a major supply and demand issue. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, home care aides and personal care aides are the sixth fastest growing jobs. For a recent story in HCAOA’s magazine, The Voice, we spoke with several newer agencies that opened in the past few years and even during the COVID pandemic, to explore this impending crisis and what efforts home care agencies across the country are making to grow their workforce to meet the growing demand. Check out this panel interview article here. Or you can read the entire magazine here. 
An organization’s scheduler or care coordinator helps to set the tone for every agency. Their effectiveness impacts all aspects of a company’s operations, but most importantly worker and client satisfaction. HCAOA is excited to announce an interactive webinar designed especially for schedulers - back by popular demand - on Wednesday, June 9 at 3:00p.m. ET.  HCAOA and the National Association for Home Care & Hospice have teamed up with Polsinelli to provide a free home care industry legal update regarding the latest legislative and litigation-related developments. Representatives from each group will discuss the latest federal laws, updated regarding new Department of Labor initiatives, and updates on COVID-19 related safety protocols mandated by the federal or larger state governments. Join us for this free webinar on Thursday May 20 at 12:00p.m. ET.
