Attendant Retention–Better Pay
We push for increased funding and resources to make care attendant salaries more competitive, reducing turnover and improving the quality of care.
Care attendants are the backbone of support for individuals with disabilities, offering essential services that enable independence and improve quality of life. However, the demanding nature of their work is often met with inadequate compensation, leading to high turnover rates and a strain on the care system. We believe that increasing funding and resources to make care attendant salaries more competitive is crucial for addressing these challenges and ensuring the sustainability of quality care.
Our advocacy efforts are focused on securing greater financial support for care attendant wages. By pushing for increased government funding, private grants, and innovative payment models, we aim to raise salaries to a level that reflects the true value of the services these professionals provide. Competitive wages not only attract and retain skilled attendants but also improve morale and job satisfaction, leading to more consistent and compassionate care.
Ultimately, our goal is to create a stable and rewarding career path for care attendants, recognizing their vital role in the disability community. By advocating for increased funding and resources, we strive to reduce turnover, enhance the quality of care, and ensure that individuals with disabilities receive the consistent support they need to thrive.
