Nursing Home Assessment Tips
Staffing issues
Ask about the level of staffing for each shift, morning, evening, and night. Ask how many nurses are on duty and how many certified nursing assistants (CNAs) are on duty. Compare that to the number of residents. Also note how many residents are bedridden or in wheelchairs who require total care in the daily activities such as toileting, grooming, drinking and eating. If there are a large number of these types of residents, the CNA ratio to residents should be smaller. Check your state licensure rules and regulations for staff to resident ratios for comparison.
