Description
Sarah Dys, Ozcan Tunalilar, and Paula Carder tracked in 2023 staffing levels in Oregon's assisted living and residential care homes across five survey waves. The pandemic threw long-term care staffing into crisis, but trends in these community settings were poorly documented. Their study covered 548 facilities from 2017 to 2022 and compared staffing by license type, payer mix, profit status, and rurality.
The average home had about 0.79 care staff per resident, rising over the period. Memory care and nonprofit homes staffed notably higher. Homes taking mixed payers staffed lower, while specialty-care homes on higher public rates staffed higher. Falling occupancy during the pandemic mechanically raised ratios. The authors find persistent gaps in who gets how much care.
