1.
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.
2.
"Sundry earnings" refers to all other earnings not attributable to basic accommodation such as earnings from sales or provision of services related to physical therapy, special duty nursing, hairdressing or barber services, extra laundry, dry cleaning, employee or guest meals, vending machines, telephone, day care and sale of crafts.
3.
Principal characteristic of predominant group of residents and size of facility.
4.
"Income from other agencies" refers to amounts paid for accommodation by federal government departments or agencies, workers' compensation boards, Department of Veterans' Affairs and any grants or donations received by the facility.
