Long-term Care Facilities Survey (LTCFS)

Question

I have a researcher wondering about data from the 2012 LTCFS. I did find a Daily article dated April 10, 2014 which states: “Data from the Long-term Care Facilities Survey for 2011 and 2012 are now available” <http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/140410/dq140410d-eng.htm>. But where are these available from?

Answer

Only custom tabulations at cost recovery is available for this survey.


The DLI Update Article entitled “I read it in the Daily...”, Fall 2000, Volume 4, issue 2, really helps clarify what it means by “data are now available”. It’s a really good read! It’s available on the DLI EFT site here: </MAD_DLI/Root/Reports_Rapports/update_dli-idd_bulletin>


It's also available on a publicly accessible site: <http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SDDS=2178&lang=en&db=imdb&adm=8&dis=2>

We also have the DLI Update in our catalogue.
