Nursing Home Workers Join SEIU

Nursing Home Workers Uniting to Fix America's Nursing Homes

The decision to place a loved one in a nursing home is always a difficult one.

Nine out of 10 nursing homes in America don’t have enough staff to provide adequate care to residents, according to a study by the federal Department of Health and Human Services. And most nursing home caregivers receive poverty-level wages, little training and no health coverage – conditions that force nearly 100 percent turnover.

By joining SEIU, nursing home workers unit with residents and their families, advocates, community leaders, and elected officials to win new standards for America’s nursing homes:

Safe staffing levels that are easy to understand and enforce.
Comprehensive training for nursing home workers.
Good caregiver careers, with benefits and wages that help attract and keep qualified staff.
State and federal funding systems that reward and encourage safe staffing and good working conditions.
