Very simply because long term care is more closely regulated than acute care.

Were I work were have a staff ratio sheet that sits in the lobby and on message boards on each floor. That staff ration sheet mentions who's in charge, and how many RN's, LPN's and CNA's there are.

What I find unusually funny about this, is that if a residents complains it's taking too long to get a nurse, we are not allowed to say it's because of a staff shortage.
