The most difficult aspect of life in a total institution like a nursing home is perhaps the monotonous daily routine which results from pressure on nursing home aides to meet the basic needs of the residents.
Federal law states certain staffing requirements for all nursing homes. The main requirement is that the nursing home has sufficient staff members to ensure proper care for all residents. However, there is no specific required number of staff members present during different times of the day.
One registered nurse (RN) is required to be on duty for a minimum of eight hours a day, seven days a week. Additionally, either an RN or licensed practical or vocational nurse (LPN/LVN) should be on duty 24 hours a day.
Some states have additional requirements for nursing home staffing. Information on staffing requirements for each state can be obtained through the state’s health department.
