Field testing, refinement, and psychometric evaluation of a new measure of quality of care for assisted living

Field test results are reported for the Observable Indicators of Nursing Home Care Quality Instrument-Assisted Living Version, an instrument designed to measure the quality of care in assisted living facilities after a brief 30-minute walk-through. The OIQ-AL was tested in 207 assisted living facilities in two states using Classical Test Theory, Generalizability Theory, and exploratory factor analysis.
