The latest NIC Survey, Wave 35, reinforces occupancy and staffing shortage trends that members have reported at the end of 2021. Compared to earlier surveys, the pace of move-ins in Independent and Assisted living has slowed, memory support move-ins are stable and nursing home admissions have increased slightly. Eighty-one percent of multi-site organizations reported significant staffing shortages; of those, 45% reported shortages on all properties, and 36% on most properties operated by the organization. In terms of biggest challenges to the organization, the top challenge for survey respondents remained consistently ‘attracting community/caregiving staff,’ at 84%. However, ‘staff turnover’ as a challenge reportedly increased between this survey and the last one; 70% of respondents in this survey as compared to 53% in the last survey. One hundred percent of respondents said that ‘overtime’ is one way they are addressing staff shortages; 77% said they were using ‘agency/temp staff’, and 20% of respondents reported using ‘agency/temp staff’ for 100% of their staff vacancies. Finally, organizations were much less optimistic about when occupancy would return to pre-pandemic levels; 36% now say it will not happen until 2023, the largest increase in this projection over NIC’s last 10 Wave surveys.
