Setting standards in residential aged care: identifying achievable benchmarks of care for long-term aged care services
This is the first national estimation of ABC for Australian LTCS, identifying real-world examples of LTCS with relatively better national performance. The ABC are realistic goals for LTCS improvement efforts. They can be leveraged as national standards in quality monitoring reports and incentive programs. Smaller and government LTCS were generally more likely to attain ABC.
