A significant challenge faced by long-term care facilities today is short staffing due to high turnover rates. This issue affects the quality of care that residents receive, as insufficient staffing can lead to increased workloads for remaining staff, resulting in burnout and further turnover. High turnover rates can stem from a variety of factors, including low wages, intense job demands, and inadequate support, which can create a cycle of staffing shortages.

With fewer staff available, facilities may struggle to meet the needs of their residents, impacting both the quality of care and the overall safety within the facility. This challenge also complicates compliance with regulations and standards that require adequate staffing to ensure proper resident care. Addressing short staffing and high turnover requires concerted efforts, including better recruitment and retention strategies, competitive compensation, and improved working conditions within long-term care settings.
