Chicago Senior Care Jobs Increasing as Companies Expand Hiring
Chicago seniors are most likely to stay in the Chicago area, studies show, providing ongoing employment opportunities for senior caregivers. Hiring has increased in the last month in the Chciagoland area for senior caregivers, Caregiverlist reports.
Chicago, IL, May 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Chicago area senior care companies continue to hire senior care personnel to keep up with staffing demands as Chicagoland seniors prefer to stay in the area. The number of retirees in the Chicago area will grow to 1.5 million by the year 2020.
Chicago continues to rank as a retiree-friendly city, offering cultural and community activities and support programs. Some seniors will move from their homes, but stay in the Chicago area, choosing to move into Assisted Living communities and closer to downtown activities with easy public transportation and a wide variety of medical services. This means a continued need for professional caregivers and certified nursing aides to support seniors as senior care companies must maintain staffing levels and turn to Caregiverlist to hire pre-qualified caregiver job applicants.
A study by the Metro Chicago Information Center and the Institute for Metropolitan Affairs found that seniors will likely move from the homes where they raised their families, but still prefer to stay in the area.
Hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living communities are required to maintain a minimum level of nursing aides according to the number of patients or residents requiring hands-on care. Senior home care agencies and hospice services also must provide certified nursing aides and companion caregivers for seniors choosing to stay in their own home while living with age-related diseases.
"Senior care companies have increased hiring in 2011, as seniors are living longer, while needing assistance with daily activities of living," says Julie Northcutt, CEO of Caregiverlist, Inc., the only professional career center for nursing aides and senior caregivers. Senior care companies subscribe to Caregiverlist's interactive tools to hire pre-qualified professional nursing aides and caregivers.
