In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 5.12 on weekdays and 3.80 on weekends, 26% lower on weekends (nationally, weekends ran 15% lower). Contract or agency staff worked 71.9% of nursing hours, against 5.3% nationally. Total nursing hours per resident went from 4.33 in April to June 2025 to 4.74 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).
