Summary:

There are more than 1.3 million residents in over 15,000 US nursing homes. Nursing homes are complex environments serving a variety of resident needs, including rehabilitative post-acute, end-of-life, or custodial long-term care. Facilities may be stand-alone (independently owned or belonging to a network of facilities) or part of integrated care networks that include hospitals and clinics or continuing care communities. Nursing home residents have diverse care needs and diagnoses that vary within and across facilities. Within nursing homes, direct care nursing staff (ie, registered nurses [RN], licensed vocational or practical nurses [LPN], and nursing assistants [NA]) are the primary caregivers for residents; thus, the level and characteristics of nursing staff are likely to impact resident well-being, health, safety, and quality of life.
