Table 3.

Living in community refers to residence outside a nursing home at 100 days following index PAC facility discharge. Number of different living situations is calculated at 1 year. Logistic regression used to calculate odds ratios was adjusted for age, gender, Charlson-Deyo score, and index hospitalization length of stay.
