Careers in Aging Month

Celebrated Annually in March 

The demand for professionals with expertise in long term care is growing rapidly. The U.S. will need between 5.7 million and 6.5 million nurses, nurse aides, home health, and personal care workers to care for the 27 million Americans who will require long term care by 2050.​

Careers in Aging Month is dedicated to bringing greater awareness and visibility to the wide-ranging career opportunities in long term care and aging services, and to celebrate current employees in the profession.Join us in celebrating and spreading the word about careers in aging on social media using the hashtag #CareersInAging.

Throughout the month of March, FHCA will showcase our members who have made long term care their calling, share resources to help providers strengthen their workforce efforts and highlight the opportunities available to help our current long term caregivers advance their careers.
