Pennsylvania’s Medicaid reimbursement rate for Direct Care Workers is one of the lowest in the region just $20.63 compared to $25–$36 in neighboring states.
This decades-long underfunding is fueling a workforce crisis, with 112,000+ home care shifts going unfilled each month. We must act now to raise rates, support our caregivers, and ensure seniors and people with disabilities can remain safely in their homes.
Tell your legislators: It’s time to and support fair rates! Senator Pat Stefano, Senator Camera Bartolotta,
