Neurological conditions in institutions^{1 2 3}

Data source: Statistics Canada, Survey of Neurological Conditions in Institutions in Canada

Institutions include all long-term residential care facilities in Canada which are approved, funded or licensed by provincial/territorial departments of health and/or social services. The facility must provide 24 hour care. Types of residential care facilities included in the survey are homes for the aged, persons with physical disabilities, persons who are developmentally delayed, persons with psychiatric disabilities, and emotionally disturbed children. Excluded from the survey are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres, temporary shelters for the homeless, independent living facilities and acute care hospitals. Long-term care facilities that fall under the umbrella of a hospital are included in the survey provided that they are a separate entity. Respite and rehabilitation beds are excluded.

"Canada" includes data for all provinces and territories. The heading "Territories" includes data for all territories. Data from the territories were combined to meet the confidentiality requirements of the Statistics Act and are not shown separately.

This rate represents residents that have at least one of the neurological conditions listed. This rate is not a sum of the rates for all the neurological conditions.
