New Report cites dangers in relying on data regarding quality of care in Assisted Living Facilities

In February 2024, Justice in Aging released a new report based on California’s “performance measure” data from the state’s Medicaid assisted living program. Aging in Justice concluded that the quality of care measures provide no meaningful information. A perfect score tells you nothing about the quality of care residents receive. The report concludes that the Federal and California governments should revise their policies to improve assisted living quality, including changes to make performance measures useful to government officials, providers, and consumers.
