Ohio nursing homes struggling with low staffing
Peter Van Runkle, who runs the Ohio Health Care Association, says one way to solve the labor shortage in nursing homes is to pay more. Author: Kevin Landers Updated: 6:40 PM EDT July 6, 2021
COLUMBUS, Ohio Low staffing is among the top validated reasons why families complain about the state’s nursing homes.
“The top complaints we get are really indicative of staffing such as symptoms unattended, cold food, slow response to calls for help,” says Beverley Laubert, Ohio Long-Term Care Ombudsman.
The average starting salary for a state-tested nursing assistant is between $15 and $18 per hour, according to the Ohio Health Care Association which represents one thousand assisted living communities, home care and hospice service providers across the state.

A proposed constitutional amendment that would establish minimum staffing levels for care for Ohio’s nursing homes is one step closer to making the ballot.
Backers say their “Nursing Facility Patients’ Bill of Rights” would require the Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio Board of Nursing to establish minimum care standards for patients at skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers.
The Attorney General’s office has determined the summary of the issue for the petitions they’d circulate is OK. If the Ballot Board gives its blessing, backers must collect nearly 443,000 signatures from half of Ohio’s counties. There wouldn’t be enough time for it to be on this fall’s ballot, but it could be on the ballot next year.
