OHIO WORKFORCE SURVEY
6
For Nursing & Assisted Living facilities in the state:
• 75% have fewer STNA’s/Direct Care Workers than planned
• 60% have fewer RN’s than planned
• 54% have fewer LPN’s than planned
For Home Health & Hospice providers in the state:
• 57% have fewer HHA’s than planned
• 33% have fewer RN’s than planned
• 48% have fewer LPN’s than planned
In addition, front line staff workers in areas such as food service, laundry, and
housekeeping are also in short supply.
THE NEED FOR CAREGIVERS:
7
• Certain positions have no applicants, a situation reported by:
– More than 20% of nursing and assisted living facilities
– More than 40% of home care and hospice providers
• High turnover of caregiver and front line staff is also common.
Often employees leave because they do not like working in a
long-term care setting or it is simply not a good fit, a situation
reported by:
– Approximately 55% of nursing and assisted living facilities
– Approximately 25% of home care and hospice providers
WHY ARE POSITIONS SO DIFFICULT TO FILL?
8
Wage & Benefit Disparity
• Providers reported a median hourly starting wage for
STNA’s/Direct Care Workers of $10.15 and $9.65 for HHA’s
• Better pay draws these critical employees away:
– 7 out of 10 STNA’s/Direct Care Workers who left their jobs,
left for better pay
– 8 out of 10 HHA’s who left their jobs, left for better pay
• Employers note a lack of “fit” with caregiver role
– 5 out of 10 STNA’s/Direct Care Workers and 1 out of 4 HHA’s
who left their jobs did so because the long-term care setting
wasn’t a good fit
WHY IS THERE A CRISIS?
9
• Nearly 1 of 5 providers has limited admissions or reduced
services - creating access to care issues for individuals and their
families
• Due to these shortages, a large number of providers are currently
using overtime, double shifts, and other financial strategies to
cover the holes/gaps in their staffing schedules. This overuse of
current staff can lead to quality of care issues due to
fatigue/burn-out of care staff and increase the overall cost of
care.
HOW PROVIDERS ARE TRYING TO COPE
10
TOPIC 2: BUILDING A WORKFORCE FOR SENIOR
LIVING
Education
• Working to replicate the C.L.L.E program (Cincinnati
LeadingAge Ohio member ERS has developed this
program);
– Introduce children to positive aging
– Provide opportunity for engagement by elders with children
• Working on a high school ‘alternative pathway’ approach
for at-risk students
– Working to replicate program implemented by DD community
• Ongoing work with community colleges to build LTC
pathways from STNA to Nursing
BUILDING A WORKFORCE
12
Frontline care giver initiatives underway in the state:
• Frontline Supervisor Training (partner: OSU)
• Elder Certification Pilot underway (funded through OSU
grant)
Career Pathways work underway:
• Exploring non-LTC models for building workforce pathways
• Exploring potential partners for building workforce
pathways
BUILDING A WORKFORCE
13
Professional/Career Initiatives/thinking:
• Retired Nurses
– attending nursing association conferences to highlight nursing
needs in aging services; perhaps of interest to some retired
nurses?
• Attracting Geriatricians
– Identified University of Cincinnati professor (Kautz Chair of
Geriatric Medical Education) interested in growing number of
geriatric physicians

BUILDING A WORKFORCE (CONT’D)
TOPIC 3: HEIGHTENING EMPLOYERS’ EXCELLENCE

“Becoming an employer of choice isn’t easy. It means taking
an honest look at your current workforce and what you want
it to become. It means acknowledging some difficult truths
and making internal changes.” Jody Ordioni, 2013.
