In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 4.47 on weekdays and 4.10 on weekends, 8% lower on weekends (nationally, weekends ran 15% lower). Contract or agency staff worked 30.1% of nursing hours, against 5.3% nationally. Total nursing hours per resident went from 3.70 in April to June 2025 to 4.37 in January to March 2026.

Hours per resident per day: staff hours in the quarter divided by resident days (the daily census CMS derives from resident assessments). Registered nurses include the director of nursing and RNs with administrative duties; aides include nurse aides in training and medication aides, as in CMS's own staffing measure.
