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
