  • Twice as many respondents in 2020, compared to 2019, cite staffing to meet resident care needs and managing excess labor costs as top workforce challenges.
  • 74% report difficulties with consistently filling shifts, with 33% saying that some shifts do not have enough staff despite their best efforts.
  • 71% of respondents say that finding qualified employees will still be problematic or even worsen next year, while 68% say the same thing of managing labor costs and 65% about retaining employees.
