The current staffing climate in home-based care continues to be a headwind as burnout and high turnover rates persist in the industry.

That was one of the main takeaways from a recent surveyconducted by SimiTree and Home Health Care News, which aimed to learn how home-based care providers are mitigating recruitment and retention challenges.

“In today’s dynamic health care environment, the challenges of recruiting and retaining skilled staff are more complex than ever,” Nick Seabrook, managing principal and SVP of consulting at SimiTree, wrote in the survey. “Eye-opening responses in this survey reveal a bleak view — but there are operational strategies providers can employ to help.”
