Work Life Improvements for Home Care Workers: Impact and Feasibility.

Feldman, Penny Hollander

Gerontologist, v33 n1 p47-54 Feb 1993

Evaluated four work life demonstration projects designed to upgrade home aide employment, reduce turnover, and increase continuity of care. Found that projects reduced worker turnover in experimental groups from 10 to 44 percentage points. Where it was measured, continuity of care also significantly improved. Local political, economic, and competitive conditions affected feasibility of projects. (Author/NB)
