DCGA Executive Director Judy Clinco:
"I started Direct CareGiver Association because of the critical shortage of untrained, qualified
Direct Caregivers to care for people who are aging and disabled. Nationally, there’s a 32%
vacancy on a daily basis and the turnover is between 5 - 200% annually."
"As Long Term Care Providers in the Tucson community, we felt it would be impossible for us to
fill our mission of being able to provide high quality care and services to a very at risk
population without having a very strong, qualified, stable workforce."

Since its founding, in 2000, DCGA has developed an innovative job training program for certified caregivers
and nursing assistants, and place them in positions in nursing homes, assisted living centers and hospice
programs. Today, we're proud to announce that our graduates are skillfully administering care all over Tucson
to hundreds of our elders & disabled, every day, with great compassion and skill.
