ResCare published a document in March that outlined challenges to caring for people with intellectual and <br />developmental disabilities. <br />.,e report cites growing demand, shifting demographics, mounting regulations, and stagnant state and <br />federal budgets for a workforce crisis in the health care industry. <br />"Given current funding levels and restrictions, the industry struggles to retain the most qualified workers and <br />is not rewarded for developing or implementing technologies to ease the demand on personnel." <br />Despite the existence of challenges, Trenaman said ResCare is investing in technology, creating real-time care <br />plans and utilizing emergency response solutions to better serve approximately 60,000 people throughout the <br />U.S. <br />"We are deeply saddened when harm comes to any of the individuals we serve or to any of our employees," <br />Trenaman said. <br />Reach Giuseppe Sabella at <br />giuseppe.sabella@wvgazettemail.com, <br />304-348-5189 or follow <br />@Gsabella on Twitter. <br />
