Staffing ratios are one of the biggest challenges in long-term care. Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) play a critical role in patient care, but their workloads vary widely depending on the state, facility type, and staffing laws.

Some states have strict CNA-to-patient ratio requirements, while others rely on broader staffing guidelines.

In this guide, we’ll break down:

  • How many patients a CNA can have in different settings

  • The impact of understaffing on care quality and CNA workloads

  • State-by-state CNA-to-patient ratio laws for 2025

How many patients can a CNA have?

The rate of how many residents per CNA you can have in a nursing home is determined by either fixed ratios or minimum care hours, with states like California and Delaware setting specific staffing requirements.

CNA workloads depend on where they work, state regulations, and facility staffing policies. Some states have specific CNA-to-patient ratio laws, while others follow a broader “hours per resident day” (HPRD) model, which determines how much direct care each patient must receive rather than mandating a set number of CNAs.

General trends in CNA workloads

CNA staffing levels shape daily patient care, but the rules vary widely. Some states enforce strict CNA-to-resident ratios in nursing homes, while others only require “sufficient staffing.” Hospitals base CNA assignments on patient acuity — someone recovering from surgery may need far more support than a stable patient.

In home health, CNAs manage multiple visits a day, often with long travel times. These differences impact both patient care and CNA workload.

Trends vary by the facility types:

  • Nursing homes: CNA ratios in nursing homes vary significantly by state, with some requiring a minimum number of CNAs per shift and others setting HPRD guidelines. In some states, there’s a legal minimum of one CNA per 7–15 residents during the day, while in others, facilities must simply ensure "sufficient staffing."

  • Hospitals: CNA assignments in hospitals depend on patient acuity. A post-surgical patient may require far more CNA support than someone in a general ward. Ratios can range from 1:6 in high-acuity settings to 1:15 or more in lower-acuity areas.

  • Home health: In home health, CNAs typically provide one-on-one care, but their schedules are packed with multiple patient visits per day. Unlike facility-based CNAs, they may have long travel times between patients.

How understaffing affects CNA responsibilities

Short staffing means longer wait times for basic care, higher fall risks, and more pressure injuries. CNAs struggle to keep up, leading to burnout and high turnover. Without enough support, patient safety suffers, and facilities face even greater staffing challenges, such as:

  • Longer wait times for patients needing help with mobility, toileting, and meals

  • Increased risk of falls and pressure ulcers due to delays in repositioning and assistance

  • Higher burnout and turnover rates among CNAs, leading to further staffing shortages

  • More pressure on nurses and other staff, creating a ripple effect throughout the facility

Without proper staffing, both patients and caregivers suffer. Understanding alternative staffing models like the Baylor shift can help optimize CNA coverage while maintaining compliance with state laws. 

Why do staffing ratios matter?

CNA staffing levels impact everything from patient care to staff retention. In nursing homes, hospitals, and long-term care facilities, having the right number of CNAs ensures that residents get timely care and that staff aren’t overwhelmed. When staffing is too low, patient safety declines, and turnover increases.

The impact of low CNA staffing

  • Burnout and turnover: Heavy workloads lead to physical exhaustion and high stress, pushing CNAs to leave, which only worsens staffing shortages.

  • Patient safety risks: Delayed care increases the risk of falls, infections, pressure ulcers, and other complications.

  • Legislative efforts for safer staffing: Some states enforce CNA-to-patient ratios or minimum care hours, while others have no formal requirements. Advocacy efforts continue to push for better staffing laws.

For facilities balancing acute and long-term care patients, staffing needs can vary significantly. Knowing the differences between LTACHs and SNFs is key to ensuring the right CNA-to-patient ratios and maintaining quality care.

In the next section, we’ll look at what the guidelines say about staffing ratios for each state.

Nurse-Patients Ratios by State in 2025

CNA staffing laws vary widely across the U.S. While federal regulations require nursing homes to maintain “sufficient staff” to meet resident needs, most staffing decisions are left to individual states.

How many patients a CNA can have depends on the state’s regulations — some enforce set CNA-to-patient ratios, while others follow general staffing guidelines based on patient needs.

Below is a state-wise breakdown of CNA staffing laws, covering specific requirements for nursing homes, hospitals, and assisted living facilities.

Key states with specific CNA-to-patient ratio laws

Some states have strict regulations that define CNA staffing levels, while others leave it up to individual facilities. Here are a few key states with clear CNA-to-patient ratio laws:

  • California has one of the strictest staffing requirements in the country. Skilled nursing facilities must provide at least 3.5 hours per resident per day (HPRD) of total nursing care, with 2.4 HPRD specifically from CNAs. This law is among the most detailed and enforceable CNA staffing mandates in the U.S.

  • Illinois requires skilled nursing facilities to meet 3.8 HPRD for residents needing skilled care and 2.5 HPRD for residents needing intermediate care. Additionally, at least 25% of total care hours must be provided by licensed nurses.

  • Texas does not set a specific CNA-to-patient ratio but does require facilities to maintain sufficient staffing levels to meet patient care needs. This means individual facilities are responsible for determining their own staffing ratios.

  • Wisconsin does not mandate a set CNA-to-patient ratio either, instead requiring facilities to ensure enough nursing service personnel to meet the needs of each patient.

  • Massachusetts enforces a 3.58 HPRD staffing requirement, with 0.508 HPRD specifically from registered nurses (RNs). Level III long-term care facilities must also have at least one CNA on duty overnight.

States without specific CNA staffing requirements

Several states do not enforce a minimum CNA-to-patient ratio. Instead, they rely on general guidelines requiring “sufficient staff” to meet patient care needs.

In states like Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, and Texas, facilities must determine their own staffing levels based on operational needs. This often means administrators must balance staffing costs with maintaining quality care.

Some facilities set internal guidelines based on industry best practices, while others adjust staffing based on census numbers and resident acuity levels.

Federal guidelines provide some structure but leave room for interpretation. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) mandates that all nursing homes participating in Medicare and Medicaid maintain “sufficient staffing to ensure residents receive necessary care.”

However, it does not establish a nationwide CNA-to-patient ratio, leaving states to make their own decisions.

States without specific staffing requirements often face higher CNA turnover rates and greater variability in care quality.

Without enforceable ratios, CNAs may be assigned more residents than they can safely manage, leading to burnout and reduced patient outcomes.

Future trends in CNA staffing laws

CNA staffing laws are likely to evolve in the coming years as states respond to industry challenges, workforce shortages, and advocacy efforts. For example:

  • New state-level regulations: Several states, including New York and Pennsylvania, have recently updated staffing laws, and more are expected to follow. Some states are considering adopting mandatory CNA-to-patient ratios similar to California’s approach.

  • Federal initiatives: The CMS has proposed new long-term care staffing standards, including a requirement for 2.45 HPRD from CNAs and 0.55 HPRD from RNs. If enacted, this would set a national baseline for staffing across all nursing homes participating in Medicare and Medicaid.

  • Advocacy for nationwide mandates: Healthcare worker unions and senior care advocates continue to push for federal CNA staffing requirements. Organizations like the American Nurses Association (ANA) and National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care have called for higher staffing minimums and increased funding to recruit and retain CNAs.

With workforce shortages and an aging population, staffing laws will remain a key issue for skilled nursing facilities. Maintaining appropriate CNA staffing levels is even more critical during periods of low census, when balancing labor costs with patient needs becomes a challenge.

Administrators should stay informed about potential regulatory changes to ensure compliance and maintain high-quality patient care.

Frequently asked questions

Do all states have CNA patient ratios?

No, some states have strict CNA-to-patient ratios, while others require only “sufficient staffing.” California, Delaware, and Oregon enforce specific staffing requirements, while states like Texas and Wisconsin leave it up to facilities. Federal regulations set general staffing expectations but do not mandate specific ratios. Many states use an hours per resident day (HPRD) model instead of fixed CNA-to-patient numbers.

Which state has the strictest nurse-patient ratio laws?

California has the most rigid staffing laws, requiring 3.5 HPRD of total nursing care per resident, with 2.4 HPRD from CNAs. Delaware and Pennsylvania also have shift-based CNA staffing rules. Other states like Massachusetts and Illinois regulate minimum care hours but do not set specific CNA-to-patient ratios.

Do hospitals follow different CNA staffing ratios than nursing homes?

Yes. Nursing homes have more structured staffing rules, while hospitals determine CNA workloads based on patient acuity. A hospital CNA in an ICU may assist with fewer patients than one in a general medical unit. Since RNs provide most direct care, hospitals often use CNAs for support tasks rather than bedside care.

How can CNAs advocate for better staffing conditions?

CNAs can report unsafe staffing levels, participate in facility staffing committees, and join advocacy groups like NAHCA. State and national efforts, including petitions and legislative hearings, push for stronger staffing laws. In states without mandates, collective action is key to influencing change.

Are there penalties for facilities that violate CNA-to-patient ratio laws?

In severe cases, facilities can lose their licenses. Even in states without fixed ratios, CMS inspections can result in citations for inadequate staffing.

Is your nursing home prepared for evolving staffing laws?

Understanding and meeting CNA staffing requirements is important not just for compliance but for maintaining quality care and operational stability.

Whether your state has strict CNA-to-patient ratio laws or follows broader staffing guidelines, keeping up with changing regulations can be challenging. Facilities that fail to meet minimum staffing standards may face penalties, reduced reimbursements, or reputational damage.

However, even with the right staffing levels, managing patient flow and admissions efficiently is just as critical. A well-staffed facility can only succeed if it can handle incoming referrals quickly and accurately. That’s where ExaCare comes in.
