An Act to improve long-term care staffing and dignity for caregivers

This bill aims to improve staffing and working conditions for long-term care workers in Massachusetts through three main initiatives. It establishes a grant program to fund supervisory training for nursing facility staff, which is intended to increase job satisfaction and reduce turnover. Additionally, the bill creates a career ladder grant program that provides financial support for entry-level caregivers to access education and language training. Finally, it introduces a tax credit for low-income family members who incur expenses to modify their homes or purchase equipment to care for relatives with daily living needs.
