Long-term Care Survey

Question

I have a researcher here who’s interested in the Long-term Care Facilities Survey. I’ve been able to find a couple of tables on CIHI’s site, but she’d like to know if we have access to more than these

Answer

While the Residential Care Facilities Survey was in CANSIM until 2010, the Long Term Care Facilities Survey that replaced it is not. Some summarization was made by CIHI. There is no other data published or freely available. Besides the data produced by CIHI, LTCFS data can only be retrieved by custom tabulation.
