The period of care between the start of residential care (either through the formal start of the residential stay or the start of new reference period) and the end of the residential care (either through the formal end of residential care, commencement of leave intended to be greater than seven days or the end of the reference period i.e. 30 June).
For residents provided with care intended to be on an overnight basis. This may occasionally include episodes of residential care that unexpectedly ended on the same day as they started (for example, the resident died or left against advice) or began at the end of the reference period (i.e. starting care on 30 June).
