“A Small World Is a Big Solution for Workforce Woes”

 

“A Small World Is a Big Solution for Workforce Woes,” by Joanne Kaldy, Provider

Quote:

“Sometimes we find ideas in our own backyard. Other times they come across the ocean or halfway around the world. Increasingly, post-acute and long term care leaders are finding physicians, nurses, frontline workers, and other staff in numerous countries. While immigration isn’t a panacea, it’s one promising solution to the workforce shortage.”

 

LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:

OK, I get it now. The reason our southern border is open to all comers who can wade or swim is clear. It is the only way to find people desperate enough to work in America’s nursing homes at Medicaid wages.
