Variation in Value-Based Outcome Measures Among Assisted Living Communities Served by a Home-Based Primary Care Practice During COVID-19

We aimed to determine the hospitalization rate and average days spent at home in a population of assisted living (AL) residents served by a home-based primary care (HBPC) practice during the COVID-19 pandemic We provided on-site HBPC to 1,699 AL residents and calculated hospitalization rate and days spent at home The AL population had a mean age of 84 ± 10?years and 73% were female The mean hospitalization rate was 449 admissions per 1,000?per year, and there was wide variation among AL communities AL residents spent a mean of 358?days at home per year, and the average days spent at home varied during the COVID-19 pandemic Use of these measures may help AL articulate its value proposition by enabling seniors with complex health needs to live in community settings for as many days as possible
