Assisted Living Community (ALC)

Assisted Living Community Initial Population

To improve the quality of life for residents, accredited communities will abstract five standardized performance measures. The measures will allow organizations to track care provided to their residents and improve on that care, where needed.

There are three populations that will be used to determine the initial population for the measure set: total residents, new residents and number of staff positions. For each month, the initial population is the same as the denominator population. The measures with their corresponding denominator population are listed in the table below.
