Why They Leave: Turnover Among Washington’s Home Care Workers

This study examines why approximately half of Washington State’s home care workforce turns over annually.

The authors suggest correcting those problems by increasing benefits, paying at least $17.58 an hour, guaranteeing stable hours, and creating a career path for home care workers.
