Non-medical and personal home-care workforce planning template for agency leaders
A practical research workflow for owners, founders, operations leaders, and branch managers who need a clear way to organize workforce questions in non-medical and personal home care.
Track A: service-model boundary
Keep this research plan inside non-medical and personal home care.
Start with the work your agency is considering or delivering, the caregiver roles it relies on, and the geography where the work is scheduled. This page is intentionally limited to the non-medical and personal home-care operating context so its questions and evidence boundaries remain specific.
Research workflow
A step-by-step way to structure the question
Work from the broadest context toward the evidence and operating rules that are specific to your agency. The goal is a documented research plan, not a prediction.
- 01
Separate public labor context from your own recruiting-funnel evidence
Use public occupational data to frame questions about the broader labor market. Keep that context separate from what your agency is actually seeing in its applicant, interview, and acceptance activity.
- 02
Document recruiting-funnel evidence
Record the period reviewed, sourcing channels, applications, qualified applicants, interviews, offers, acceptances, time-to-contact, and the notes needed to explain what changed. Keep the definitions consistent from review to review.
- 03
Define the capacity rules your operation is willing to use
Write down the practical rules that govern open shifts, travel radius, service windows, caregiver availability, client compatibility, and escalation. These are agency operating choices, not conclusions produced by public data.
Source and limitation
Use BLS OEWS as occupational context, not agency headcount.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics program provides public employment and wage estimates by occupation and geography. It can support a broader labor-market review when its occupational definitions and release periods are documented.

Caregiver Workforce Planning Toolkit
Organize the questions, sources, and capacity assumptions in one working file.
The toolkit provides a practical structure for documenting workforce context, recruiting-funnel evidence, and the assumptions your operation chooses to review.
