The Workforce Crisis

We heard you. LeadingAge knows the workforce crisis in aging services is real and requires action on many fronts. There is no single solution to unprecedented workforce challenges, but we work alongside our members to develop and advocate for a wide range of solutions to ensure America’s older adults and families can get the care and services they need.

LeadingAge urges and works for immediate government action – keep up-to-date on our federal advocacy with our weekly updates.
