- Feedback & Communication About Incidents was the highest-scoring composite measure, with an average of 83 percent of respondents reporting that staff “always” or “most of the time” discuss ways to keep residents safe, tell someone if they see something that might harm a resident, and talk about ways to keep incidents from happening again.
- Staffing was the lowest-scoring composite measure, with an average of 39 percent of respondents reporting they “strongly agree or “agree” there are enough staff to handle the workload, meet residents’ needs during shift changes, and keep residents safe, because there is not much staff turnover.
