In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 3.58 on weekdays and 3.25 on weekends, 9% lower on weekends (nationally, weekends ran 15% lower). Contract or agency staff worked 15.0% of nursing hours, against 5.3% nationally. Total nursing hours per resident went from 3.55 in April to June 2025 to 3.49 in January to March 2026.

| Pennsylvania, Jan to Mar 2026 | 3.69 | 0.65 | 3.82 | 3.34 | 11.3% | 0.1% of days |
Hours per resident per day: staff hours in the quarter divided by resident days (the daily census CMS derives from resident assessments).
