I believe 6 to 8 residents per CNA in the AM shift
9 to 12 residents in the PM shift.
12 to 14 residents in the NOC/SWING shift.
The law in California is 6 to 8 residents per CNA. I don't know who is calling the shots for my residents within certain shifts.

∙ 9y agoIndiana law does not specify any certain ratio. It requires that nursing home residents have a total of one half hour of licensed nurse care per day, averaged over the course of a week. The law does not specify how much, if any, of that care must be provided by a nurse's aide. The law does require nursing home to employ enough staff to provide adequate care to residents, but the nursing home itself may judge where that level is, as long as they pass annual state department of health inspections.
