What is the staff-to-resident ratio?

The staff-to-resident ratio at an assisted living facility can vary depending on the size of the facility, the level of care provided, and the specific needs of the residents. However, a commonly recommended staff-to-resident ratio is around 1:4 during the day and 1:8 during the night shift.

Having an adequate staff-to-resident ratio is crucial to ensure that residents receive the attention, care, and support they need throughout the day and night. A higher staff-to-resident ratio generally allows for more personalized care, quicker response times in emergencies, and better overall quality of care for residents.

It's important to inquire about the specific staff-to-resident ratio at the assisted living facilities you are considering to ensure that it meets your expectations and the needs of the residents.
