ILR Institute: The Incursion of Private Equity into Home Care

Findings on the effect of private equity on quality work and care

While private equity’s acquisition of hospitals and nursing homes and the subsequent harms to the quality of care and jobs have been well documented, the relatively recent presence of private equity in home care has been less examined. The presentation of findings will be followed by a panel discussion with representatives from unions, advocacy groups and policymakers to discuss the implications of these findings. This will include recommendations for how best to curb the extraction of public resources by private equity at the expense of quality home care provision, and how we can halt the exploitation of home care workers.
