Why NH Needs Caregivers
An aging population and rapid shifts in employment are straining NH’s healthcare system, and an ongoing pandemic has only exacerbated the problem. This has further increased demand for Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs), universally known as “caregivers.”
The NH Needs Caregivers! Initiative – run through the Southern New Hampshire Area Health Education Center – is a grant-funded effort to encourage and help individuals start a healthcare career as a nursing assistant. The initiative will help people find an LNA position at skilled nursing facilities and long term care facilities including:
Assisted Living or Residential Care Facilities
Supported Residential Care Facilities
Intermediate Care Facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities
Nursing homes
Group homes
Other settings providing care to frail and older adults and/or children.
