Abstract
We examine what facility characteristics are associated with nurse turnover in residential care communities (RCCs). This is a cross-sectional study using the 2018 National Study of Long-term Care Provider Public Use File. There were 3331 RCCs (unweighted n = 272) represented when examining registered nurse (RN) turnover and when examining aide turnover there was a weighted sample of 13,676 RCCs (unweighted n = 68). RN turnover was 72% (95% confidence interval (CI) 59%, 84%), 52% reported 100% turnover. Aide turnover was 48% (95% CI 43%, 53%); 11% reported 100% turnover. We examined ownership and facility type, job design, economic, and working environment factors related to turnover. Using multivariate linear regression, non-profit RCCs had 25 percentage points lower RN turnover (95% CI: -44.46, -4.31) and 9.7 percentage points lower aide turnover (95% CI: 18.8, -0.6) compared to for-profits. We find larger RCCs had lower aide turnover.
