Short term residents should be surveyed about satisfaction with services within what time frame?

Surveying short-term residents about their satisfaction with services within 30 days from discharge is considered ideal because this time frame allows for a balanced reflection of their experiences while the memories of their stay are still fresh. If surveys are conducted too early, such as within 7 days, residents may still be adjusting to their transition and might not provide a comprehensive view of the services received. Waiting too long, such as 60 or 90 days, can result in a decline in the accuracy of the feedback, as details may become less memorable and potentially lead to less reliable insights regarding their satisfaction. Therefore, the 30-day period strikes a practical balance, allowing for meaningful responses while keeping the experiences relevant and recent.
