Long-Term Care Staffing: Best Practices for 2026

David Patterson··6 min read

Long-term care facilities face unique staffing pressures — high CNA and LPN demand, weekend coverage gaps, and stringent survey requirements make reliable staffing partnerships essential.

Best-in-class LTC staffing programs include recurring shift scheduling, cross-trained per diem pools, and dedicated account management that understands state survey and documentation standards.

Predictable weekend and overnight coverage reduces agency premium costs and improves resident care continuity — a key factor in quality measures and family satisfaction.
