Nurse staffing in West Virginia, quarter by quarter

Hours worked by nurses and nurse aides per resident per day, from the daily payroll records every West Virginia home sends CMS, added up across the state. In January to March 2026, weekend staffing ran 18% below weekdays (nationally 15%), and contract or agency staff worked 3.9% of nursing hours (nationally 5.3%).
