Making Work, Work: Quality Work and Quality Care to Support Labor Market Participation and Retention of Care Workers and Care Recipients - This research project has the goal of identifying policies, programs, and practices needed to support home care workers and care recipients, specifically, adults with disabilities who use personal care services to be able to work, as both groups endeavor to engage in the labor force. Our objectives are to 1) build an understanding of how the employability of care recipients is impacted by home care workers and the structure of their jobs; 2) build an understanding of how the structure of their jobs and the disability/health conditions of care workers impacts their work experience and access to accommodations; 3) develop recommendations for key constituents, including unions, home care worker training programs, agencies that employ/place home care workers; and 4) disseminate findings and resources to key constituents, care workers, and care recipients. Project activities include an advisory council with representatives of care workers, care recipients, and other constituents; a scoping literature review; data collection through a screening survey and focus groups of care workers and recipients across three states; and dissemination of findings to target audiences, through publications, research briefs, conferences, webinars, and media “impact stories.” Our anticipated outcomes include increased understanding of what enables employment for both the care worker and the care recipient, adoption of recommended policies and practices to support care workers, and higher quality and more consistent care for people with disabilities who require personal care assistance to access and retain work.
