ABSTRACT: Over the last few decades, the massive influx of immigrants in the United States has significantly impacted the healthcare industry. As the immigrant population ages, so does the complexity of their overall outreach within the healthcare system. Alongside the immigrant population, the US Healthcare system continuously strives for ways to instill effective programs for senior citizens 65 and above to deliver care solutions critical to their wellbeing. Surely, there is an increasing need for efficient systems to address problems such as overburdening hospitals due to increasing admissions rates and incurring high healthcare costs that cause deep damage and entropy. Although native language translation services are readily utilized to provide services to various non-English speaking populations, there needs to be a solution to provide members with the necessary resources to provide healthcare literacy. With the advent of home care services, the pressure on hospitals and care facilities can be alleviated by expanding the horizon of healthcare options via value-based care and hands-on support and assistance. This case study examines the strategies taken by Sahara Home Care Service to address challenges with its workforce, business expansion, and market competition.
