Always pay attention to the ratio of staff to residents. A study performed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, found significant associations between lower levels of nurse staffing lower levels of care.
Because understaffing is a problem linked to poor care, you should always be concerned about how many staff members are available to care for your loved one.
Wisconsin law (Chapter 50.04(2) (d), Wisconsin statutes) requires each nursing home to provide at least 2.5 direct care hours per day per resident needing skilled nursing care; a minimum of 0.5 hours of this time shall be provided by an RN or LPN.
