Currently there is a crisis in the long-term care workforce, as many workers experience poor pay, a lack of training, burnout, low quality working conditions, and physical strain, which is leading to a workforce shortage. To address this, the Alzheimer's Association Dementia Care Provider Roundtable (AADCPR) convened a panel of direct care workers to discuss and provide direction on their view of the current state of the workforce. From this panel, five touchpoints for hiring and retaining direct care workers were highlighted: high quality jobs; recruitment and reputation management; onboarding; retention; and training and career advancement. In addition, the DCPR put together a set of standards to follow to meet these needs, which includes promoting staff dementia education opportunities, creating recommendations around peer mentoring programs specific to dementia care, and increasing inclusion of direct care workers in decision-making and plans of care.

增强以人为本的长期护理人员队伍


目前，长期护理劳动力面临危机，许多工人工资低、缺乏培训、倦怠、工作条件低质量和身体紧张，导致劳动力短缺。为了解决这个问题，阿尔茨海默病协会痴呆护理提供者圆桌会议 (AADCPR) 召集了一个由直接护理人员组成的小组，讨论他们对劳动力现状的看法并提供指导。该小组强调了雇用和留住直接护理人员的五个接触点：高质量的工作；招聘和声誉管理；入职；保留;以及培训和职业发展。此外，DCPR 还制定了一套可遵循的标准来满足这些需求，其中包括促进员工痴呆症教育机会、围绕针对痴呆症护理的同伴指导计划提出建议，以及增加直接护理人员参与决策和计划的照顾。
