a The 2004 data reflect care for period 7/1/04 to 9/30/04; 2003 data reflect care for period 7/1/03 to 9/30/03.

b A facility had to have at least 30 residents in the denominator for a chronic care measure to be calculated. Therefore the number of facilities may vary for each measure reported in a State.
