United HomeCare Services home health aide Wendy Cerrato massages the fingers of Olga Socarras during a visit on January 6, 2010 in Miami, Florida.
Ontario will see a spike in demand for home-care workers over the next few years as its population of seniors increases sharply, according to a new report by health economists.The expected rapid growth in Ontario's population of seniors means the province will need a substantial increase in the number of home care workers just to maintain current levels of service, says a new report coming Monday.
"We need substantial growth in all the workers, all the types of occupations that work in home care," Sweetman said in an interview. From 2024 to 2029, Ontario will need another 6,800 PSWs to maintain the status quo level of home-care service, the report finds. Proper management of chronic conditions like diabetes keeps people out of hospital, and effective home care can be key to managing those conditions, said Sweetman, who is McMaster's Ontario research chair in health human resources.
The chief executive of Home Care Ontario, Sue VanderBent, said the report demonstrates how dramatically the home-care workforce will need to increase.
