A Compendium of Three Discussion Papers: Strategies for Promoting and Improving the Direct Service Workforce: Applications to Home and Community-Based Services
This is a compendium of three discussion papers on the topics of direct service workers in long-term care and strategies for improving the quality of their jobs and services.
The papers are not meant to be inclusive for all sectors of the direct care and direct support workforce, nor are they an exhaustive review of the research and demonstration literature. They are meant to provide insight and resource information that highlight current issues and approaches for building and maintaining a quality direct service workforce.
