HCAOA Georgia Chapter Member Survey 2022
In 2020 and 2021, the HCAOA Georgia Chapter surveyed members about details related to workforce shortages and operational challenges. Each year those survey results were important as we responded to questions from regulators and legislators.
As we approach the 2023 Legislative Session in January, we need updated data on the main issues impacting our Georgia home care businesses. This year, your responses are critical as they will be used to set specific requests to members of the Georgia General Assembly.
