To examine the effect of Hurricane Irma on staff-related financial expenditures and daily direct-care nurse staffing levels. Retrospective cohort study. September 3rd-24th, 2017 in the state of Florida, United States. Hurricane Irma made landfall on September 10th, 2017. 653 nursing homes, 81 evacuated facilities and 572 facilities that sheltered-in-place. This study used data from Payroll-Based Journaling (PBJ), Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports (CASPER), and Florida’s health providers’ emergency reporting system. PBJ provided estimates of daily direct-care nurse staffing levels for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. CASPER reported facility-level characteristics such as profit status, chain membership, and special care unit availability. Florida’s emergency reporting system identified evacuation status during Hurricane Irma. Linear mixed effects models were used to estimate the unique contribution of evacuation status on daily staffing increases over time from September 3rd-September 10th. Among all facilities, we found significant increases in staffing for licensed practical nurses (p = .02) and certified nursing assistants (p < .001), but not for registered nurses (p = .10) before Hurricane Irma made landfall. From one week before landfall to two weeks after landfall (September 3rd-September 24th), an additional estimated $2.41 million was spent on direct-care nurse staffing. In comparison to facilities that sheltered-in-place, evacuated facilities increased staffing levels of all nurse types (all p < .001). At landfall, evacuated facilities spent an estimated $93.74 on nurse staffing per resident while facilities that sheltered-in-place spent $76.10 on nurse staffing per resident. Nursing homes face unprecedented challenges during hurricanes, including maintaining adequate direct-care nurse staffing levels to meet the needs of their residents. Nursing homes that evacuated residents had an increase in direct-care nurse staffing that was greater than that seen in nursing homes that sheltered-in-place.
