Survey Reveals Long Term Care Workforce Challenges Are Worsening

AHCA/NCAL released a survey that shows 94% of nursing homes and 81% of assisted living communities have experienced a shortage of workers recently. Providers across the U.S. struggled with workforce shortages before the COVID-19 pandemic, but now three-quarters of nursing homes and more than half of assisted living communities say their facility’s workforce situation has gotten worse compared to 2020.
