Evaluation of "Demonstration to Improve the Direct Services Community
Workforce to Support the Needs of People with Disabilities in the Community"
Grant
Overview
Staff from the Partnership are conducting several components of the
evaluation for the "Demonstration to Improve the Direct Services
Community Workforce to Support the Needs of People with Disabilities
in the Community" grant. This grant, awarded by the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services, is funding several interventions aimed
at improving the recruitment and retention of direct care workers. The
Partnership received a sub-award from the Department of Medical Assistance
Services to conduct evaluation activities.
Major Activities
The major activities involve surveying direct service workers to assess
reasons for job retention, with particular emphasis on the relationship
of health insurance availability, training, and job longevity. In addition
to surveying all Medicaid-reimbursed direct service workers who perform
home health services, the Partnership is surveying home health employers.
