The Future of At-Home Care

Following are additional takeaways from the survey:

  • As a Result of COVID-19, Home Caregivers Look for More Transparency & Wider Range of Online Training Options: Though 84% of caregivers felt safe at their jobs during the pandemic, over half (54%) asked to be more educated on pandemic topics (sanitation, social distancing, regulations) as it relates to their work and 62% noted they were more interested in mobile in-service training.
  • As the Need for Caregivers Grows During the Pandemic, These Workers Look for Safer Training and Onboarding Protocols: 60% of respondents preferred to be trained online instead of in person, and 38% are now asking to onboard remotely—compared to much lower percentages prior to the pandemic.
  • Flexibility and Easy Onboarding, Staffing and Training are the Driving Factors for Positive Caregiver Experiences, Ultimately Leading to Retention: The majority (62%) of caregivers said that easy and quick onboarding and ease of staffing are the reasons to stay with one agency over another. Additionally, 44% noted that their training would be immensely improved with better communication and flexibility from agencies.

“The data also shows that caregivers need more communication from their agencies,” added Pavlovsky. “In-home health care remains one of the most underserved and unappreciated industries, and the challenges posed by COVID-19 have called attention to that sentiment. Through our suite of solutions that aim to provide the resources and flexibility caregivers and agencies need to continue to provide quality care to every patient, Medflyt is in a position to change that.”
