Will the senior care industry ever solve its labor issues? Before the pandemic, overdevelopment led to high levels of staff poaching in certain markets and rising wages to combat it. Then the pandemic, plus the government checks that kept many workers at home, led to more severe staffing shortages and the necessity for temporary staffing agencies to fill the gap, at exorbitant prices. It was around that time when we hosted a webinar tackling the staffing crisis in senior care and the potential solutions, with panelists Barb Clapp, who had just taken the helm at Dwyer Workforce Development, and Steve LaForte of Cascadia Healthcare, which LevinPro LTC subscribers can watch here.
Nearly two years on, we will have the same conversation with the same panelists to get a progress report for their companies and the industry, to talk about what has worked, and maybe what hasn’t, and what senior care providers, owners and capital providers need to do in order for us not to have the same conversation two years from now. Join us Wednesday (or today for most of you listening) at 1pm Eastern for this complimentary webinar and you can get your questions answered too by our panelists. See you then.
