A Fast-Growing Workforce Needs Better Tools, Here’s How Moxie Helps
Personal care and home health aides are projected to be one of the fastest-growing occupations in the United States over the next decade. According to federal labor data, nearly 740,000 new roles are expected to be added between 2024 and 2034, which is more growth than almost any other profession.
This rapid expansion reflects the reality that America’s population is aging, and more patients need care beyond the hospital setting. Increasingly, that care is delivered in skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers, and at home.
But growth alone does not guarantee sustainability. Without the right resources in place, caregivers face mounting pressure that can directly affect care quality, patient experience, and outcomes — an issue recently highlighted in reporting by The Washington Post on the growing strain across the caregiving workforce.
The challenge facing post-acute care today is not only how to meet rising demand, but also how to make caregiving work more sustainable for the people doing it.
Growth Without Infrastructure Creates Strain
Caregiving requires physical effort, emotional intelligence, clinical judgment, and constant coordination with providers, families, and facilities. As demand increases, caregivers and clinicians are often asked to manage heavier caseloads, more documentation, and more complex patient needs — frequently without additional resources or compensation that reflect the intensity and skill the role requires.
Low pay and rising expectations create a difficult imbalance. When combined with inefficient workflows, the result is added strain on a workforce already performing demanding, essential work. Delayed responses, fragmented communication, and manual documentation processes pull time and energy away from patient care. Over time, these challenges contribute to fatigue, turnover, and disruptions that affect both caregivers and the patients who rely on them.
Solving the workforce challenge requires more than hiring. It requires smarter systems that support care teams where they work.
Supporting Care Teams Through Smarter Coordination
The Moxie Health Group was founded with this reality in mind. As a post-acute care group dedicated to interdisciplinary care, The Moxie Health Group focuses on helping patients regain function, improve quality of life, and transition safely back to their communities — while also supporting the clinicians and caregivers who make that possible.
At the core of this approach is MoxieLink, a clinical coordination and care management health application designed specifically for real-world challenges in skilled nursing and post-acute settings. Rather than adding complexity, the HIPAA-compliant digital platform helps streamline workflows by enabling faster clinical responses, clearer documentation, and stronger alignment across care teams.
MoxieLink, a HIPAA-compliant digital platform that unifies patient records, uses AI-powered transcription, analytics and automated coding validation to optimize workflow for healthcare providers.
By reducing administrative friction and improving real-time decision-making, MoxieLink helps nurses, nurse practitioners, and facility staff spend less time navigating systems, and more time caring for patients.
Technology That Supports, Not Replaces, Caregivers
In a labor-intensive field, technology works best when it supports clinical expertise rather than competing with it. MoxieLink was built by clinicians and operators who understand the daily realities of post-acute care, ensuring that tools align with how care is actually delivered on the ground.
This approach has gained international recognition. In 2025, MoxieLink was named one of the Top 15 medical startups at MEDICA, one of the world’s largest healthcare technology exhibitions. The recognition reflects growing industry demand for solutions that improve efficiency, quality, and sustainability in post-acute care without adding burdens to already stretched teams.
Better Tools Lead to Better Outcomes
As the caregiving workforce continues to grow, the systems supporting it must evolve as well. Efficient coordination, accurate documentation, and timely clinical oversight are not administrative luxuries, but essential components of quality care. Just as important is ongoing education that equips care teams with the knowledge and confidence to meet increasingly complex patient needs.
In addition to its clinical coordination tools, The Moxie Health Group provides Moxie Academy, a internal training and education program designed to support providers, caregivers, nurses, CNAs, and facility staff across post-acute settings. Endorsed by the Florida Health Care Association, Moxie Academy helps ensure care teams are aligned with best practices, protocols, and standards of care, strengthening both clinical performance and workforce readiness.
When caregivers are supported with the right tools and training, everyone benefits. Care teams experience less strain and greater clarity. Patients receive more consistent, responsive care. Families gain confidence knowing care is coordinated, educated, and closely monitored. Facilities are better positioned to reduce preventable hospital readmissions and support long-term workforce stability.
Building a Sustainable Future for Post-Acute Care
The future of caregiving depends not just on the number of workers entering the field, but on how well they are supported once they arrive. As one of the fastest-growing occupations in the country — yet one that remains undercompensated and physically demanding — home health and post-acute care demand infrastructure that reflects their importance.
The Moxie Health Group is committed to helping build that future by equipping caregivers, clinicians, and facilities with tools that make care more efficient, less strenuous, and more sustainable — for patients, families, and the professionals who care for them every day.
Florida Lawmakers Highlight Rising Quality Standards and Patient-Centered Care in Nursing Centers
Florida’s long-term care landscape is shifting for the better. During a recent House Health Care Facilities and Systems Subcommittee meeting, state leaders and industry experts emphasized measurable improvements in nursing center quality, resident satisfaction, and staff stability across Florida. Their insights reveal a growing movement toward person-centered care, one that affirms the impact of the work we do at The Moxie Health Group.
Our team helps reduce hospital readmissions, trains on-site nursing staff, and follows evidence-based protocols to deliver consistent, high-quality care. Through robust clinician education and seamless integration with MoxieLink, our operational excellence platform, we ensure that every step we take is data-driven, scalable, and centered on improving patient outcomes.
The Moxie Health Group is a post-acute care organization dedicated to delivering interdisciplinary pulmonary and rehabilitative support to patients across the continuum. We focus on helping individuals regain their functional abilities, enhance their quality of life, and transition safely back to their homes or communities while promoting strong clinical stewardship, reducing readmissions, and elevating care standards through continuous provider and SNF staff education.
Florida’s Quality Improvements at a Glance
The discussion highlighted how Florida continues to outperform national averages on key quality indicators. According to the Florida Health Care Association, most nursing centers across the state have earned national accreditations or awards for excellence. Nearly 70 percent have a 4- or 5-star Quality Measures rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a benchmark often linked to better outcomes and higher patient confidence.
“This kind of progress confirms what we see every day,” said Viviane Manara, Chief Clinical Integration Officer of The Moxie Health Group. “When facilities invest in strong clinical leadership, ongoing education, and person-centered care, patients recover more safely, more confidently, and with better long-term outcomes.”
Experts also pointed to data showing that Florida’s long-stay residents are becoming more independent. Centers statewide are helping individuals regain strength in essential daily activities like mobility, eating, and bathing. These improvements speak to the growing emphasis on rehabilitation pathways that support long-term success, stable transitions, and reduced hospital readmissions.
Strengthening Teams and the Patient Experience
Staffing trends are shifting as well. Contract labor for CNAs and LPNs continues to decline, allowing more facilities to rely on consistent, permanent care teams. Leaders noted that stronger staffing stability often leads to deeper relationships, more individualized care, and an overall increase in resident satisfaction.
This reinforces the principle that continuity matters a central lesson in post-acute recovery. Patients thrive when surrounded by caregivers who know their medical needs and understand who they are as people.
Elevating Patient Engagement and Safety
Panelists also spoke about the importance of patient engagement and connection, particularly during the transition from hospital to rehabilitative care. Personalized welcomes, frequent check-ins, and real-time surveys throughout a stay help patients feel seen and supported. These touchpoints can set the tone for a positive recovery experience and help care teams respond quickly when needs change.
The meeting also addressed SB 2514, legislation that includes measures to strengthen patient safety culture, elevate consumer satisfaction efforts, and implement Certified Medical Director requirements. Agencies are now moving into the rule-making phase to carry out these upgrades across Florida’s nursing centers.
For organizations focused on quality improvement, the message is clear. Florida is prioritizing transparency, personalized care, and strong clinical leadership. The state’s focus on resident experience mirrors a broader shift happening across healthcare. Better outcomes require not only strong clinical practice but also communication, trust, and a commitment to understanding each patient’s story.
At The Moxie Health Group, we see these statewide improvements as encouraging signs for the future of long-term and post-acute care. Our work has always centered on helping patients breathe easier, recover stronger, and return home safer. The momentum highlighted during this legislative discussion reinforces why that mission matters and how innovation, collaboration, and patient-first care can create meaningful change across the continuum.
