Staff turnover at Pennsylvania nursing homes

In a typical Pennsylvania nursing home, 44% 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.
