Abstract

Over 8 million people in the US have a self-care disability and need assistance to live and participate in their communities. Of those, nearly 20% (>1.5 million) live in rural areas. The objective of this study was to assess county-level PCA worker-to-need ratios across each of the states to assess the match between supply of PCAs in rural states and communities where PCA help was most needed.
