There is a growing problem of violence against caregivers in home-based care. In a recent survey, over 20% of caregivers reported violence at the hands of clients in the previous year, and over 30% during the course of their careers. Violence causes acute and long-term physical and emotional injury, leading to burnout, turnover, and poor patient care. Home-based care leaders need to understand the risk to individuals and the agency and options to improve safety.

- Recognize the incidence and prevalence of violence in home-based care
