In an April survey of nearly 500 Wisconsinites with disabilities and older adults, every respondent said COVID-19 has disrupted their caregiving service. And the state was already facing a shortage of caregivers before the pandemic.
released in February described a"crisis" in the direct care workforce, with 20,655 vacant positions in Wisconsin's long-term-care facilities and residential settings, and an average workforce vacancy rate of nearly 26%.
"Many times I've skipped meals, gone without using the restroom and slept in my wheelchair because I didn't have a caregiver," Ellingen says. In an ideal world, Ellingen says she would have six or seven caregivers to fill work shifts, but that hasn't happened for years. Ellingen was down to just three careworkers at the pandemic's outset, including the two UW-Oshkosh students who have since left town.
