Staffing

Nursing staff spend about 3.83 hours per resident per day at Bedford Co Nursing Home, above the Virginia median of 3.57 (US median: 3.72). About 0.47 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 3.47 hours, 10% below its all-week average. 97.6% of nursing staff left within a year (Virginia median 47.7%).
