SUMMARY:Be Prepared: Home care sustainability and mergers in light of industry reform and consolidation - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Be Prepared: Home care sustainability and mergers in light of industry reform and consolidation  \nThe home care sector is facing turbulent times\, with many providers concerned about their sustainability.  Home care reforms\, which are seeking to strengthen provider governance and give consumers a greater say represent a fundamental shift for many providers’ service/business models.  This shift and increasing compliance are coming just as high inflation and workforce shortages are starting to bite. \nThis webinar will explore the big picture and sustainability challenges driving industry consolidation.
