Nursing Home Staffing
Adequate staffing is central to ensuring high nursing home quality. To
help illuminate the implications of various new policy recommendations,
John Bowblis and coauthors analyze nursing home staff expenditures
<[link removed]>.
Bowblis and coauthors look at the proportion of facility revenues spent
on nursing staff, as well as nursing staff levels in hours worked and
paid per resident day, in 2019.
The authors find that facilities with higher shares of Medicaid
residents spent a larger share of revenues on nursing staff but had
lower staffing levels.
They determine that "any specific threshold for nursing staff
expenditures...would have a varying degree of effectiveness in ensuring
that any given nursing home was adequately staffed." Ultimately, the
authors argue, increased expenditures on staff do not necessarily
translate to an increase in staffing levels.
