Surveys collected for the “2010-2011 Nursing Home Salary & Benefit Report,” published annually by Hospital & Healthcare Compensation Service, showed many positions in long-term care management received smaller salary increases than years past.
Nursing home administrator wages grew to just over $90,000 this year, climbing to a median salary of $91,106 from last year’s $89,906 — a pay rise of 1.67 percent.
Assistant administrators saw an even lower gain of 0.49 percent and assistant director salaries remained flat.
Registered nurses under the title “head nurse” lost 10.6 percent from their national median salary, falling from $56,497 to $50,511.
