Data on paid hours and financial data for residential
care facilities may include amounts related to activities that are outside
the scope of residential care, such as outpatient or hospital care. This phenomenon
is not widespread outside of Quebec, but in this province, such situations
are more likely. For this reason, financial data pertaining to non-residential
care activities in Quebec were statistically removed. Nevertheless, caution
should be exercised in comparison with data from other provinces.
Principal characteristic of predominant group
of residents and size of facility.
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.
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.
Data for "Other" residential care facilities
in Quebec likely include some non-residential care activity. Caution should
be exercised in using this data.
