Paid training, tuition assistance may be key to solving New York's nursing home staffing crisis


In an effort to boost staff and retain current healthcare workers, Catholic Health and McGuire Group's nursing homes are working with D’Youville University to fund the education of those interested in becoming a certified nursing assistant (CNA). Participants are paid for their time spent training and taking courses and are guaranteed a job once they complete the program. Catholic Health and the McGuire Group hired 29 CNAs from the program in 2022 across its nine nursing homes in the Western part of the state.
