Observations are facility-months. HPRD = hours per resident day, measured as the average of total nursing assistant hours divided by daily resident census, across all weekend days in the month. We defined minimum recommended staffing hours for CNAs as 2.8 HPRD. Robust standard errors (clustered by locality) are reported in parentheses. Statistical significance is indicated by ^*** p < 0.01, ^** p < 0.05, ^* p < 0.1. All models also include the monthly county unemployment rate, facility fixed effects, year-by-month fixed effects, and state-by-fiscal year fixed effects
