UNDERSTAFFING IN
RESIDENTIAL AGED
CARE HOME

 A lot of people every year avail the residential aged care home
(Cooper et al., 2013).
 Research shows that the residential aged care home are understaffed
and that causes immense problem for the proper handling of the
patients and aged people.
 Residential aged care is a organisation that falls under the most
resource-intensive category of aged care, thus providing higher
level of care to the older people (Hodgkin et al., 2017).
OVERVIEW

BACKGROUND
 As the research shows that a large proportion of residents who stay
at aged care are 90 and over. This shows that the older people prefer
to stay at their own home, however they have to move to the
residential care when home care is not available or is not adequate
(Sheridan & Agim, 2014).
 This increases the burden on the residential care staff that causes
burnout among them as the nurses get burdened with work
 This results in frequent change of jobs among the nurses that also
hampers the patient’s quality of care (Jeon et al., 2017 ).
