The NBHC Home Care Survey is conducted every 3 years. Its purpose is to evaluate the quality of publicly funded home care in New Brunswick, from the perspective of citizens who receive these services.
The 2024 Home Care Survey was conducted from March to June 2024 and the results were released on May 13, 2025.
The NBHC has drawn the following observations:
- Wait times for publicly funded home care services differ depending on the location and type of service that clients need.
- Once citizens receive home care services, they have a really good experience, with good communication, sharing of information and coordination of care.
- Although the services provided helped them stay at home, a small percentage of citizens reported that more could still be done.
- There is a strong reliance on informal caregivers despite receiving services from professionals.
