How The Caregiver Shortage in Marietta, OH and Parkersburg, WV Effects Your Family
Learn more about the growing caregiver shortage in Marietta, OH and Parkersburg, WV that could affect your senior loved one and how home care could help.
AARP projects that by 2020 there will be 117million Americans needing care and only 5million paid caregivers to provide the care.
Likewise, a recent issue of Provider magazine (May 2017) stated that in the 900-member Care Providers of Minnesota Association there is a 50% vacancy rate. In other words, nearly 3,000 positions in skilled nursing, rehab centers, assisted livings and other facilities are left unfilled, causing the resulting caregiver shortage.
This caregiver shortage is going to put increasing pressure on families and result in seniors receiving inadequate care.
The problem is similar across the country, and yes, here in the Mid-Ohio Valley and Charleston, WV.
This shortage is impacting both the quality and availability of senior care in facilities & in the home
