The metric: Average agency caregiver growth since August 2024

How we measure it: For each agency in our data set, we look at how the number of caregivers has increased or decreased since August 2024. We then average that rate of change across all agencies and look at it on a monthly basis.

Why we measure it: We think it’s important to understand caregiver growth trends to assess the overall health of the workforce and identify periods of expansion or decline. Tracking this metric helps agencies and industry leaders recognize where and when growth is happening, identify potential challenges in caregiver recruitment and retention, and develop strategies to sustain a stable and growing caregiver workforce.

💡This month’s takeaway: After a brief recovery in March with an increase of 0.5%, April saw a decline in average caregiver growth across agencies, dipping to -0.8%. This drop follows two months of recovery, highlighting ongoing volatility in caregiver recruitment. Agencies may benefit from reinforcing engagement strategies to sustain growth momentum.
