“The federal government recommends an “expected staffing” level at nursing homes that would allow a resident every day to get more than one hour of care from registered nurses and two hours and 45 minutes of care from nurse’s aides.
Kentucky nursing homes, on average, fall short of that goal, reporting 43 minutes of daily care from registered nurses and two hours and 19 minutes from nurse’s aides, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which collects staffing and resident population data from the facilities.”
