Nursing homes are struggling to recruit and retain staff due to recent immigration policy changes that revoke legal status for many workers. Deke Cateau, CEO of A.G. Rhodes, highlights the devastating impact of reduced immigration on their workforce, noting that eight employees with Temporary Protected Status are expected to leave. Although this number is small compared to total staff, the difficulty of replacing these workers poses a significant challenge. Foreign-born individuals represent a vital segment of the caregiving workforce, particularly in nursing facilities, making these changes particularly concerning.
Nursing homes are facing staff shortages exacerbated by immigration policy changes, leading to the loss of employees with Temporary Protected Status. This impacts caregiving roles significantly.
CEO Deke Cateau notes that the ongoing reduction in legal immigration and revocation of TPS is especially worrisome, making it difficult to replace lost workers in nursing facilities.
