Definition:

The distribution of levels of care assigned to PCH residents who were age 75 and older at the time of their admission. Level 1 represents the lowest level of need and Level 4 represents the highest. Levels 2 and 3 were stratified into residents whose assessment indicated a need for close supervision due to possible behavioural issues (2Y or 3Y) and residents who did not require close supervision (2N or 3N). Area of residence was assigned based on where people lived prior to PCH admission. Crude values are calculated for two time periods for comparison.
