CMS Now Posting Staff Turnover and Weekend Staffing Levels

Posted by LTCS on January 13, 2022

CMS will begin posting the following information for each nursing home on the Medicare.gov Care Compare website:

Weekend Staffing: The level of total nurse and registered nurse (RN) staffing on weekends over a quarter.

Staff Turnover: The percent of nursing staff and number of administrators that stopped working at the nursing home over a 12-month period.

This information will be added to the Care Compare website in January 2022 and used in the Nursing Home Five Star Quality Rating System in July 2022.
