Data Opportunities to Advance Dementia HCBS through Direct Care Workforce Measurement and Analysis

The Community Care Network for Dementia, in partnership with the Advancing Workforce Analysis and Research for Dementia Network, will hold a webinar exploring opportunities to advance dementia home and community-based services (HCBS) through direct care workforce measurement and analysis. This webinar will feature ADvancing States’ Senior Director of National Core Indicators – Aging and Disabilities Rosa Plasencia.

High-quality HCBS for people living with dementia depend heavily on the direct care workforce. Despite widespread recognition of workforce shortages, turnover, and training challenges, researchers have historically lacked standardized, multi-state workforce data that can be linked to service quality and outcomes. 

This webinar will feature two datasets that can be used to advance research on HCBS quality through direct care workforce measurement and analysis: (1) the National Core Indicators State of the Workforce – Aging and Disabilities Survey, and (2) the National Dementia Workforce Study Home Care Survey.

Date: Wednesday, September 2, at 12:00 p.m.
