Effectively Recruiting, Engaging, and Retaining Staff Presented by: HealthLeaders 10:00 AM - 11:05 AM EDT With turnover rates in long-term care ranging anywhere from 40% to 60% for nurses and aides, and a proposed Biden administration staffing mandate possibly looming, it’s not surprising that staffing is one of the most challenging parts of running a skilled nursing facility.

Multiple government reports also have highlighted the problem.
