While the provision of an adequate floor of wages and benefits for paraprofessional workers in the home care component of our long-term care system is desirable, efforts to provide it are curtailed by cost constraints. As a result, other factors which encourage the retention of an adequate home care workforce are all-important. Findings from a study of a representative sample of 487 paraprofessional home care workers in New York City indicate that the ability to develop close interpersonal relationships with home care clients and their families is one of the most attractive and rewarding aspects of the work. It is suggested that agencies focus on their roles in providing an optimum environment for the development of such relationships.
虽然为我们长期护理系统中家庭护理部分的辅助专业人员提供足够的工资和福利是可取的，但由于成本限制，为此所做的努力受到了限制。因此，鼓励留住足够的家庭护理劳动力的其他因素至关重要。对纽约市487名辅助专业家庭护理人员的代表性样本进行研究的结果表明，与家庭护理客户及其家人建立密切人际关系的能力是这项工作最具吸引力和回报的方面之一。建议各机构专注于在为发展此类关系提供最佳环境方面所发挥的作用。
