LTCFS and RCF Access

Question

A student is looking for access to data from Long-term Care Facilities Survey (LTCFS) and Residential Care Facilities (RCF). Do PUMFs exist for either survey, and are they accessible via the RDC?

Answer


I confirmed with a RDC manager that these surveys are not available in the RDCs, as it was determined to be business data. I am confirming that this information would be available through the Canadian Centre for Data Development and Economic Research (CDER).

There are tables for the Residential Care Facilities (RCF): <http://www5.statcan.gc.ca/COR-COR/COR-COR/objList?lang=eng&srcObjType=SDDS&srcObjId=3210&tgtObjType=ARRAY>
