Abstract
Direct-care staff turnover has frequently been cited as a major problem in the management of both public and nonpublic residential facilities. This article reports on a follow-up study of over 100 direct-care staff one year after an initial interview. Staff members were employees of facilities in a national, stratified random sample of public and nonpublic facilities. Demographic, experiential, job satisfaction, geographical, and institutional factors related to occupational status at the time of the follow-up are reported.
