New Hampshire's care gap: The healthcare workforce shortage

Abstract

This report of New Hampshire's Paraprofessional Healthcare Imitative claims that worker retention is a major problem for New Hampshire long-term care providers, with 11,000 CNAs letting their licenses lapse since 1993. Noting that demographic changes are likely to make the workforce crisis worse over the next 15 years, the report recommends providing caregivers with: competitive wages, health insurance and other benefits including child care; opportunities for advancement; a positive public image; and a supportive work environment.
