The Better Jobs, Better Care demonstration provides grants and technical assistance to coalitions of providers, workers, consumers, and policy makers to improve the quality of jobs of long term care (LTC) direct care workers (DCWs), improve recruitment and retention, and strengthen capacity to meet future demand. This evaluation is designed to achieve two goals: (1) to document and alalyze the implementation of coalition activities, aritulate the successes and challenges encountered, and provide formative feedback, and (2) to assess the effects of state-level coalition activities and provider-level practice changes on DCW's jobs.
