About this Table
Content and description
Data about the experience citizens reported while receiving home support services. Topics include availability of services, language of service, experience with home support workers, experience with home support services, safety, and overall satisfaction.
Why is it important?
By better understanding the experience of citizens with home support services, we can better assess the quality of services. This also encourages those responsible for the program to create performance targets based on care experience survey indicators.
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 demographic groups
In 2023, the NBHC undertook a review of the demographic questions in its surveys to more accurately report on the experience of citizens who identify with particular groups. As such, starting in 2024, all demographic groups (characteristics) have been adjusted to reflect this change. Data tables and indicator pages were adjusted to allow for trending where applicable.
