National Immigration Forum Report Focuses on Addressing Home Care Workforce Shortage

​A new report, Home Health Care Workers:  Immigrants Can Help Care for an Aging U.S. Population, discusses the growing need for home-based care and offers recommendations on how immigration reform could encourage and equip more native and foreign-born workers to enter the home health care industry.

For several months, HCAOA has been working with Leading Age and the National Health Care Association to develop legislative language on immigration reforms to address the critical shortage members have been experiencing.  This report substantiates the need to look to immigration as another solution to the critical worker shortage.
