Hi.

I need helP!

Management wish to review our staffing levels in activities and hours etc. I would very much appreciate it if anyone would share with me how they work their programs and amount of staffing they have to make it work. For example number of residents and how big is your team? It would really help me if I knew how others do it when discussing possibilities with management. Thanks!

Hi Karin, most facilities I have worked at have a ratio of around 1 hour per week per resident. This may help you work out the hours. Its still not enough time to provide a great lifestyles for residents.
