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.
This is all dependent on the nursing home-it varies. It should be that if your services users needs are being met than ratio correct and if needs not being met than ratio wrong.
lifting and moving of residents, bathing of residents, feeding of residents, dressing of residents, patience with residents......."universal precautions" - avoiding transferring of body fluids, etc............

An elderly person living in an assisted living facility or nursing home
A nursing home is a facility that provides care for people who need 24-hour supervised care. The residents can either be disabled or they could be elderly or they could be both. All residents have varying lengths of staying at the facility.
Decisions are made by each nursing home resident unless he or she has signed an advanced directive giving this authority to someone else
Usually the staff of the nursing home refers to them by their given names. If speaking in general terms they are most often referred to as "residents."
Since some nursing home residents are not ambulatory, wheelchairs are available.
Some do. They might invite pet therapy groups to visit to allow their pets to visit with residents, or they might have one or more facility pets that residents care for.
There are many authorities which you can report resident abuse in Nursing home. The most effective channel is to report first to local police. The proofs and documents can be submitted to Medical council, and Nursing council as well.
