I agree. I work MDS at a SNF/LTC. Our rehab floor has 30 patients staffed with 2 nurses and 3 aids on days and pms, 2 aids at night. A lot of these residents need help transferring to the toilet, they are in pain and it takes a long time for them to transfer.

I always assess every patient before I do my MDS, and every single one always says how short staffed we are. That they wait too long for their call light to be answered. I suggested to our administrator that we need to staff 1 more CNA, that the patients are even complaining. Some finance guy in corporate that’s never taken care of a patient ever, said no.
