The Eldercare Workforce Alliance (EWA) is comprised of 29 national organizations united in our commitment to address the eldercare workforce shortage in order to ensure that our parents and grandparents receive the dignity of living comfortably and receiving quality care in settings of their choice. EWA represents a wide range of health care providers - physicians, nurses, direct-care workers, psychologists, social workers, pharmacists, physical therapists, as well as eldercare employers, consumers, and family caregivers - all of whom serve the needs of America’s burgeoning population of older adults. EWA, with a command of information on the critical workforce shortages — and in particular, our expertise in recommending innovative team care solutions — can serve as a go-to resource for policymakers, health organizations, the media and others. We welcome the opportunity to help meet this historic challenge.
