This study introduces a new conceptual model for evaluating nursing home quality, incorporating staff, environment, nutrition, and community relations. This framework enables comprehensive quality measurement beyond traditional care metrics.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Healthcare Management
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Evaluating nursing home quality has historically lacked a unified conceptual model.
  • Previous assessments were fragmented, lacking a framework to integrate diverse quality indicators.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a comprehensive conceptual model for assessing nursing home quality.
  • To identify key dimensions and subdimensions for measurable quality indicators.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted an extensive literature review to identify components of nursing home quality.
  • Developed a four-dimensional model encompassing staff intervention, physical environment, nutrition/food service, and community relations.

Main Results:

  • The proposed model includes four major dimensions, each divided into two subdimensions, totaling eight areas for measurement.
  • This model integrates traditional quality of care with quality of life considerations.

    • Conclusions:

    • The developed model provides a structured framework for evaluating nursing home quality.
    • Measurable indicators for the eight subdimensions can be combined for a comprehensive quality assessment.
