Research out of the University of Illinois suggests that government subsidies might encourage low-wage workers, including CNAs, to remain at their nursing home jobs.
The researcher originally tested her theory on workers at group homes, where she found that government subsidies reduced turnover rates by a third. She theorized that incentivizing CNAs to remain at their nursing home jobs would produce similar results.

my wife is a CNA at a Massachusetts SNF. she has been there several years. her experience has been that there is a small core group of caregiving CNA's surrounded by a great number of zombie CNA's. these are poorly trained CNA's who occupy space to meet management staffing quotas. incentivizing these CNA's would do nothing to improve resident care. better would be to get LPN and RN to actually help with some CNA tasks.
