A new article from the May issue was released ahead of print this week. Authors Amanda R. Kreider and Rachel M. Werner examine the trends in the size of the home care workforce with data on Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) participation between 2008 and 2020.
Findings in the article include:
The home care workforce grew from approximately 840,000 to 1.22 million workers between 2008 and 2013.
After 2013, growth slowed,
ultimately reaching 1.42 million workers in 2019.
In contrast, the number of Medicaid HCBS participants grew continuously from 2008 to 2020, with accelerated growth between 2013 and 2020.
Overall, the authors note that the home care workforce has not kept pace with growth in home and community-based services, and suggest that workforce investments would be needed to improve access to these programs.
