Ascentria Links Immigrant Hiring to Senior Care Worker Shortage

Boston – October 19, 2026 -- Ascentria Care Alliance is the subject of an upcoming "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia" segment, filmed in Worcester, Massachusetts, that presents workforce development and immigrant integration as a response to a shrinking caregiving workforce and an aging U.S. population.

Segment frames care shortages as a systems problem

The feature argues that traditional healthcare systems struggle to meet the long-term needs of older adults when they operate in isolation. It points to social determinants of health, including housing stability, transportation and language access, as the foundation for community infrastructure that supports people at every life stage.
