In order to keep pace with the labor market, as well as other contributing factors, home care providers across the country have had to increase the cost of their services. Providers such as  Griswold Home Care are now concerned that raising prices could affect client demand.

“We’ve been forced to raise rates because we’re forced to pay materially more in some markets,” said Steven Turner, COO of Griswold Home Care.
