Abstract: The homecare industry has grown exponentially in recent decades and will continue to do so in the future. However, low wages make it difficult to recruit enough workers to meet this rapidly growing demand. Unless California’s homecare crisis is addressed and workers’ wages are increased, the elderly and people with disabilities will not get the care they require, homecare workers will continue to live in poverty, and the public cost of long-term care will increase.
