The looming long-term care crisis
By 2030: More than 70 million people 65 years and older
• 20% of the population
By 2050: Number needing long-term care will more than double
• 8 million in 2000 to 19 million in 2050
Who will care for those with long-term care (LTC) needs?
• IOM projects 3.5 million additional workers by 2030
This study examines how changing demographics and service use might affect future LTC worker demand

Long-term care settings and workforce
Settings for LTC
• 25% institutions
‒ Nursing homes
‒ Assisted living
• 75% home and community based services (HCBS)
Workers
• Within institutions: mostly RNs, LPNs, CNAs
• HCBS: mostly unlicensed direct-care workers

Changing patterns of LTC use?
General trend toward more HCBS use
Demographics
• Growing Hispanic & Asian populations
‒ Traditionally use fewer LTC services
• Growing Black population
‒ Traditionally uses more LTC services
New programs supporting HCBS
• ACA made $4.3 billion available through multiple programs

Methods
1. Measure use of 4 types of LTC services by age/ethnic/gender
2. Extrapolate future use based on population projections
3. Measure employment by occupation in each LTC service sector
4. Extrapolate future worker demand by occupation using data from steps 2 & 3
(Yes, this is a giant spreadsheet exercise!)

Limitations
Not a microsimulation model
• Not a dynamic model
Only considered older population
• Young adults and children are 1/3 of LTC population
Some services are not measured
• Unlicensed home health agencies
Could not disaggregate Asians & “other” ethnic groups
Had to estimate some age-gender-ethnicity cells

Policy implications
Demographic change could affect job growth for specific occupations, but overall job growth for LTC doesn’t change much
Greater use of home health (and less of nursing homes) will have small effects unless the shift in setting is large
Expansions of HCBS will be needed – ACA investments are not enough
Need to consider:
• Training requirements for PCAs and HHAs
• Strategies to reduce turnover
• Making sure these are not poverty-level jobs
