MIA March 2025

Total care time still falling short despite increase in RN time

Rob Covino presents Mirus Industry Analysis (MIA), a series of monthly insights into the key performance indicators and cumulative industry trends from the 90,000+ beds we monitor for financial sustainability. 

Welcome to the March 2025 edition.

Revenue

In February, the industry Average Daily Subsidy (ADS) decreased slightly to $297.90, down by -0.18% from January. Voluntary claiming rose to 4.19%, while reassessment wait times grew from 22.11 days in January to 27.81 days in February—a 25.74% increase.

Occupancy

Occupied bed days continued to grow, with industry-wide occupancy increasing to 91.35% in February. However, new permanent admissions declined sharply by -18.16%.

Workforce management

Total direct care minutes increased slightly to 208.54 minutes per resident per day, though still below the desired 215-minute requirement. RN minutes rose by 1.48% to 43.96 minutes, falling just short of the required 44-minute benchmark.


Our March webinar will explore the challenges surrounding care minutes, including the financial impact of funding changes, compliance risks, and the growing need for effective staffing strategies. You can register for it here.
