About this Table

Content and description

Data about the demographics of citizens receiving home care services in New Brunswick. Topics include self-reported health, chronic health conditions, and care received from family and friends. 

Data is organized by 3 categories: (1) all citizens receiving home care services whose costs are being entirely or partially covered by public funds, (2) patients receiving services from the Extra-Mural Program, and (3) clients receiving home support services.


Why it is important

By better understanding the demographic context of citizens receiving home care services in New Brunswick, we can better understand their characteristics and needs, thus provide more citizen-centred care. 


Availability of the data

The information for this data table is available at different geographical levels as well as by demographic groups. More information is available on our Home Care Survey page.


Note about 2021 data

Results from the 2021 edition of the Home Care Survey should be interpreted in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March 2020, our health care system has adapted and evolved to respond to COVID-19, which includes home care services providers.
