Long-Term Care Facilities Survey 2013 and Residential Care Facilities Survey

Question

I have a student looking for these surveys.
Long-Term Care Facilities Survey 2013 and Residential Care Facilities Survey

I can find them on the list of surveys but cannot find out if there is a PUMF for either one of them.
And if there is no PUMF, is there any info from them that the student can access.

Answer

The Long-Term Care Facilities Survey (sponsored by the Canadian Institute for Health Information) collects data on non-acute health care facilities with four or more beds that provide medical or professional nursing supervision or some higher level of care to residents but are not part of a hospital.

I received a response from subject matter in regards to both the Long-Term Care Facilities Survey 2013 and Residential Care Facilities Survey. I am attaching pdf’s to this email that were supplied along with this response:

“Below you will find the questionnaire and the guide to the respondents that will explain what is available in the survey. The questionnaire was the same for RCF and LTCFS.“

RCF

Please note subject matter has no plans for the creation of a PUMF for either 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.
