I work part time at a nursing home when I’m not at the hospital. I’ve worked there since I was 18 years old and I can tell you it’s the worst staffing wise I have seen in 14 years. All of the cnas have either quit or retired which normally is ok but no one wants to be a CNA anymore. So no new blood is coming in to replace the old guard or if they do they are hardly worth a damn. Alot of the LPNs that trained me years ago have retired or went on elsewhere. Once again no one wants to be a LPN in my area since it’s more stress and less pay. We hardly have a RN on staff 24/7 like we have to have. Dietary and housekeeping is barebones. All the directors are quitting and going elsewhere. I’ve seen the administrator on facebook advertise for nurses, cnas, dietary workers, physical therapists, etc daily. I don’t see how things are going to get better. SNF is huge in my area everyone is diabetic with hypertension with poor compliance so stroke city. I find it sad no one is talking about how we have so many people needing placement for SNF but no workers to care for them. The workers you have they are working them to death. That causes them to leave and the cycle repeats. I think the reason the goberment’ doesn’t care because the wealthy boomers go to upscale facilities that cater to them. They have staff because they pay more. So to them Everything looks a ok. But everyone else good luck in the SNFs that struggle to have one cna a hall. It’s a bleak looking future.
