Staff turnover at Minnesota nursing homes

In a typical Minnesota nursing home, 40% 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.

High turnover can mean less familiarity with each resident. Ask how long the aides on your floor have worked there.
