2008 Nursing Facility Staff Vacancy, Retention and Turnover Survey

Please respond by January 15, 2010

The American Health Care Association is conducting this survey to better describe the vacancy, retention, and turnover of nursing facility staff.  Please complete and return either the Excel or PDF version of the survey. Please report your facility/facilities staff data as of December 31, 2008.  Results of this survey will be reported in aggregate form only.  Data will be kept strictly confidential.  Your facility will not be identified in any way.  Thank you for completing this survey.

Your participation in the completion of this survey is important for several reasons. Information obtained through the surveys will be used for advocacy purposes at the national level.  State-level findings for vacancy, retention, and turnover rates can also be used at the local level. The stability of nursing facility staff can be demonstrated through the disclosure of the staff retention rate.  None of this information will  be available to nursing facilities without the participation of providers like you.  Thank you for your participation.
