Note(s):
The sum of the response categories can exceed 100% as respondents could mark all categories that apply. The April 30, 2025 reference period reflects the survey snapshot day, a predetermined business day meant to represent a typical day of operations for facilities across Canada. Information in this table excludes 35% of facilities nationally that did not provide a response to these questions. The percentage of excluded facilities varies by province or territory. Women residents excludes women who were admitted for reasons other than abuse. In 2020/2021, the Survey of Residential Facilities for Victims of Abuse was updated to collect resident information for women, men, adults of another gender, accompanying girls, accompanying boys, and accompanying children of another gender. Women residents include transgender adults identifying as female.
