In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 3.65 on weekdays and 3.31 on weekends, 9% 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 3.36 in April to June 2025 to 3.55 in January to March 2026.

New Hampshire, Jan to Mar 2026	3.85	0.74	4.01	3.45	13.1%	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). 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. How these are calculated.
