AHCA Releases Nursing Home Work Force Report
Yesterday, the American Health Care Association (AHCA), the nation's largest organization representing long term and post-acute care providers, released
updated data showing that nursing homes continue to make progress in strengthening their workforce. The sector gained 40,700 jobs in 2025, and nursing turnover and agency use rates are declining. However, providers still have 26,500 fewer workers than they did when COVID hit the US in 2020.
While headed in the right direction, continued support from policymakers is needed to accelerate workforce efforts and keep pace with the growing aging population in the United States.
