Note ‡ According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, deaths in personal care homes in Manitoba are reported in the same category as deaths in hospital. As a result, the number of deaths in non-acute “other health care facilities” are under-reported. It has been estimated that approximately one-third of the deaths reported in Manitoba as having occurred in hospital likely occurred in a personal care home. Return to note ‡ referrer Note †† As of 2014, Saskatchewan no longer captures "private home" as a locality of death. These cases are now coded as "other specified locality."
