Comments
This measure excludes admission assessments; and residents with missing values on the target assessment or with "total dependence," "activity did not occur," or missing values on the prior assessment; residents with comatose status; residents with end-stage disease; residents receiving hospice care; and residents with unknown status for these conditions on the target assessment. Facilities with fewer than 30 residents in the denominator are excluded.
Long-stay residents enter a nursing facility typically because they can no longer care for themselves at home; they tend to remain in the facility for several months or years.
