As the demand for caregivers in long term care increases, fewer people are drawn to caregiver positions. The ratio of twenty residents to one CNA is now common, preventing any possibility of adequate care, job satisfaction, or staff retention.
“More than 1.3 million new paid caregivers will be needed to meet demand over the next decade,” according to a recent New York Times article.
The article also cites low wages and Medicare / Medicaid funding deficits as factors contributing to the problem.
