Who is actually on shift

Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps.

Ask how long the administrator has been in post. Turnover at the top is one of the better predictors of turnover below it.
