and are capable of doing their assigned work.
- Staffing assignments must include sufficient time necessary
to
- assist tenants with unscheduled care needs, and
- provide all services identified in the tenants' service
agreements
- It is not required to provide or be staffed to provide
services that are not needed, are not included in the service
agreements, or are above the minimum required levels.

an RCAC shall meet applicable federal or state standards
for that service or profession.
Other Staffing Information
A white paper prepared for ALFA: "Recruitment
and Retention Policies for Assisted Living Facilities",
Sept. 2000.
The Center on Wisconsin Strategy
(COWS), based at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with
a field office in Milwaukee, is a research and policy center
dedicated to improving economic performance and living standards
in Wisconsin. Back in 1999, COWS issued a report about caregivers
in Dane County " Improving Retention of Frontline Caregivers
in Dane County". In their new report "Caring
about Caregivers: Reducing Turnover of Frontline Health Care
Workers in South Central Wisconsin", the analysis covers
a six-county region, including Columbia, Dane, Dodge, Jefferson,
Marquette, and Sauk Counties.
