About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens receiving home care services from a home support worker who reported that it is very easy to call their home support worker or agency when they need help, information or advice.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Home Care Survey

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "very easy" by the number of respondents who answered "very difficult, somewhat difficult, somewhat easy, very easy" to the question: How easy or difficult is it to call your home support worker or the agency to get help, information or advice?

Notes

The 2021 edition of the Home Care Survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic did not influence the survey’s response rate, users are advised to use the survey data with caution, especially when creating estimates for small sub-populations or when comparing it to other editions of the survey.
