The measure calculates the percentage of long-stay residents, those living in the facility for 100 days or more, who are satisfied (see: S.5 for details of the time-frame). This patient reported outcome measure is based on the CoreQ: Long-Stay Resident questionnaire that is a three item questionnaire.
The numerator is the sum of the individuals in the facility that have an average satisfaction score of =>3 for the three questions on the CoreQ: Long -Stay Resident questionnaire.
