Caregiver Crisis in Long-Term Care | Raleigh News

The U.S. faces a looming long-term care crisis, projected to be 2.5 million workers short in the next 15 years—driven by an aging population and a shrinking native-born workforce. One-third of caregivers are foreign-born, but current immigration policies can’t keep pace with demand. While the U.S. has the economic pull to attract global talent, bureaucratic hurdles and underfunded facilities stall progress. Domestic solutions like wage hikes are unaffordable for many agencies, and tech can’t replace human care. Without swift legislative action, nursing homes may close, and the system could collapse under strain. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
