Staff turnover at Maryland nursing homes
In a typical Maryland nursing home, 42% of nursing staff left within a year. Turnover matters because residents do best with caregivers who know them.
CMS data as of August 1, 2026. Nursing homes only; assisted living is not covered by Medicare ratings. Homes averaging under 20 residents a day, such as short-stay hospital units, are left out because their numbers swing widely.
