In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 4.04 on weekdays and 3.35 on weekends, 17% lower on weekends (nationally, weekends ran 15% lower). Contract or agency staff worked 0.0% of nursing hours, against 5.3% nationally. Total nursing hours per resident went from 3.78 in April to June 2025 to 3.84 in January to March 2026.

Ohio, Jan to Mar 2026	3.64	0.60	3.80	3.24	4.6%	0.4% of days

Hours per resident per day: staff hours in the quarter divided by resident days (the daily census CMS derives from resident assessments).
