Description

A broken system is leaving millions without help. 🛑

Let’s rethink pay, policy, and innovation to rebuild caregiving into a win for all. 💡

✅ The U.S. faces a mounting shortage of caregivers for people with disabilities.

✅ Nearly 42 million Americans live with disabilities, many aging into greater need.

✅ Medicaid HCBS waitlists top 700,000 individuals in urgent need of care.

✅ Wages remain stuck around $15/hour—insufficient to attract and keep workers.

✅ High turnover not only disrupts care but also drives hidden organizational costs.

✅ Current models overly rely on government funding, creating market distortions.

✅ A “GI Bill”–style approach for DSPs could attract and retain a strong workforce.

✅ Market-based solutions can drive competition, higher wages, and better services.

✅ Leveraging technology can slash administrative burdens and focus on direct care.

✅ This is an opportunity to transform caregiving into an economic growth engine.

The future of caregiving depends on innovation, choice, and empowering workers—families can’t afford to wait any longer. 💪
