\nSecond in a series of investments will develop and deploy a standard training program for direct care workers employed in a home or community-based setting<\/i><\/p>\n

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AmeriHealthCaritas<\/a>—AmeriHealth Caritas<\/a>, a national leader in Medicaid managed care and other health care solutions for those most in need, continues to demonstrate its commitment to long-term services and supports by funding an innovative program to help improve training and support for Pennsylvania caregivers. This is the second of three investments that aim to support vulnerable Pennsylvanians. Through AmeriHealth Caritas\u2019 Community HealthChoices (CHC) health plans, the plans of choice for eligible Pennsylvanians, more than $355,000 is being granted to the Pennsylvania Homecare Association (PHA).<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nPHA has described Pennsylvania\u2019s workforce shortage as a \u201ccrisis,\u201d<\/a> citing a need for 65,370 additional home-based care providers by 2035. This represents a nearly 43% increase from current levels, with Pennsylvania having the fifth highest demand in the nation. Through this grant, enhancements and additions to web-based training materials will be deployed to caregivers employed in a home or community-based setting.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cCaregivers are too often the unsung heroes in long-term and chronic-care situations. We must recognize their stress levels and provide assistance to help retain highly qualified home health care professionals and attract others to the profession,\u201d said Stephan Roker, Senior Vice President, Community HealthChoices for AmeriHealth Caritas. \u201cThis grant aims to help provide Pennsylvania caregivers with the tools and resources that will make their role more manageable and rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cFor more than a decade, the Pennsylvania Homecare Association has offered free, on-demand training courses designed specifically for direct care workers and family caregivers through our platform My Learning Center<\/i>,\u201d said CJ Rambler, President of the Pennsylvania Homecare Association\u2019s Board of Directors. \u201cThis resource is accessed by hundreds of thousands of caregivers each year. Through this grant from AmeriHealth Caritas, we are able to expand this resource to help ensure that Pennsylvania caregivers can access the resources they need to deliver high-quality care to Pennsylvanians who need support at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAmeriHealth Caritas has also funded a program with the SeniorLAW Center to provide access to housing-related legal assistance to at-risk older adults. A future investment focused on closing the digital divide for seniors will be announced in the coming months.<\/p>\n
