On January 1, 2003 a law was enacted that required all nursing homes
participating in Medicare and Medicaid to begin posting staffing
information. The regulations required the home to post in a clearly visible
place the number of nursing staff on duty each shift. The staff must be
those directly responsible for resident care. The numbers should not include
social workers, recreation therapists, or physical therapy aides. The law
does not require each unit to post their staffing levels. In fact, the
consumer must determine the actual staffing on the unit versus the posted
staffing levels. In addition, the nursing home is not required to post the
number of residents in the unit at the time the list is posted.
