^a The 2007 data reflect care for the period 7/1/07 to 12/30/07; 2002 data reflect care for the period 1/1/02 to 6/30/02.

^b A facility had to have at least 20 residents in the denominator for a postacute care measure to be calculated; therefore, the number of facilities may vary for each measure reported in a State.
