Pennsylvania’s in-home care crisis is leaving thousands of residents without essential services, affecting over 400,000 people.
Mia Haney, CEO of the Pennsylvania Homecare Association, warns that Governor Shapiro’s budget allocates just $21 million for direct care workers, but only for the directed model, which employs just 6% of them. She urges legislators to prioritize funding increases to prevent unnecessary nursing home placements. The General Assembly must vote on the budget by June 30.
