President Trump's immigration crackdown poses a significant threat to the rapidly growing home health workforce in the U.S., primarily composed of immigrant workers. With over 40% of home health aides being foreign-born, the administration's plans to revoke work permits and increase deportations raise concerns about the ability to retain staff in a sector already facing high turnover and labor shortages. The demand for home health services is projected to rise dramatically as the population ages, yet low wages and challenging job conditions make it difficult to attract new workers. If current trends continue, many providers may have to reduce services or stop accepting new residents.
