Everyone knows staffing shortages are bad, but a new study details the extent of the problem:
- The turnover rate of CNAs in Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) stands at 45.87% this year, but the rate in nursing homes is 51.38%.
- The turnover rate of LPNs in CCRCs is 36.81%, compared with 37.67% for nursing homes.
- RN turnover is 40.45% in CCRCs, versus 41.06% in nursing homes.
Turnover has been rising steadily for CNAs in all settings. For CCRCs, it was at its lowest point in 2013 (at 30.31%). The lowest turnover rate for CNAs in nursing homes was in 2014 at 30.15%.
