Brookside: Brookside maintains a 1 to 3 Caregiver to Elder ratio and nearly 100% retention. Because of this Elders and Caregivers are able to form consistent and strong bonds. Nursing Home: In an institution the caregiver to resident ratio ranges from 1:12 to 1:20 depending on “call offs”. Also, turnover is a consistent problem in nursing homes. As a result, the resident is unable to form bonds with caregivers that are seldom seen and often different.
