Faced with a rapidly aging population, Oregon is facing a critical shortage of trained, professional caregivers. Home and community-based care providers employ 44,000 Oregonians each month, and by 2022, the demand for professional caregivers in Oregon is expected to increase by 20% for nursing assistants, 19% for personal care aides, and 34% for home health aides, compared with just 15% growth in demand for other occupations.

Long term care professionals at all levels enjoy opportunities for job growth, continuing education, and a true passion for the work they do of providing quality care to Oregon seniors and people with disabilities.
