LTCCC’s Q2 2021 Staffing Report provides user-friendly files for every state that contain facility-level data on: 1) Nurse staff levels (RN, LPN, and CNA, including Admin & DON, NA in Training, Med Aide/Tech.); 2) Important non-nursing staff levels, including administrators and activities staff; 3) Contract workers. 4) Summary staffing data at the state, CMS region, and national levels. The report also features interactive Tableau maps and tables.

Download your state’s file by clicking the state in the first column of the table below.
Files can be modified to isolate locations and identify variables of interest. For example, a state file can be filtered and sorted to identify nursing homes in a selected county (or counties) with the highest or lowest RN staffing levels. See LTCCC’s staffing alert for Q2 2021 summary findings and other information.
