Re: How many care staff per resident in ALF?
If your ALF is like mine- then those are amazing stats- Our ALF- the clients are independent in most ADL's- some need help bathing (to get to the back and feet),and one needs help to put on her shoes. they are all continent, ambulatory and eat independently. We help with laundry, housekeeping, med and nursing care, social activities etc.
We have one nurse and one CNA to 24 clients each shift and nights are under the monitoring of the nursing staff of the SNF in the building- to answer callbells.
Anyone who needs more monitoring temporarily- goes to the SNF to sleep at night.
I guess each facility functions its own way.
