US EditionNursing Homes Struggle with Trump's Immigration Crackdown
UNITED STATES, JUL 13 – More than 25% of direct care workers in nursing homes are foreign-born, and immigration policy changes have sharply reduced this vital workforce, worsening staffing shortages nationwide.
- Nursing homes across the U.S. are losing immigrant workers due to immigration crackdowns under President Trump, affecting facilities like A.G. Rhodes and United Hebrew.
- Trump halted most refugee admissions and revoked work authorizations like Temporary Protected Status, causing pipelines of potential caregiving workers to shrink drastically.
- Facilities rely heavily on foreign-born staff who consider caregiving a noble profession despite low pay, but visa delays and revoked legal statuses are prompting workers to leave or avoid the U.S.
- Rachel Blumberg said losing 10 workers with humanitarian parole and expecting 30 more losses due to TPS endings is “just like a punch in the gut,” while frontline caregivers earned $16.72 hourly in 2023.
- This workforce instability threatens care capacity amid growing demand, with leaders fearing even more dramatic impacts as hiring pipelines slow and worker shortages deepen.
