1.
Residents on books at the end of the reporting year.
2.
Principal characteristic of predominant group of residents and size of facility.
3.
Due to administrative changes in Quebec in 2004/2005 (creation of "Centres de santé et de services sociaux"), data for this year are not comparable to data for previous years. Furthermore, because of improvements in the estimation methods for Quebec for 2005/2006, data for this year should not be compared with data from previous years.
4.
To comply with the confidentiality requirements of the Statistics Act, some data for the Territories were combined. Data from homes for the aged with 50 beds or more were combined with those having 20 to 49 beds. Data from facilities with 20 beds or more, for persons with mental disorders, were included with facilities that had 1 to 19 beds. Data for the category "Other" were also included with facilities for persons with mental disorders, 1 to 19 beds.
5.
Data for "Other" residential care facilities in Quebec likely include some non-residential care activity. Caution should be exercised in using this data.
6.
Total may differ from sum of age and sex components because Quebec data are included in the total, but are not available by age and sex.
