Data Insight: Skilled Nursing Facilities are Facing a Staffing Crisis
This Data Insight analyzes records from CMS surveys of skilled nursing facilities to reveal trends in staffing during the coronavirus pandemic. Findings show that these facilities are dangerously understaffed, and they continue to lose employees each year. Over 400,000 employees have left nursing homes since the start of the pandemic. This number stands to grow if a new CMS vaccine mandate results in the termination of several thousand more employees.
