Survey Information
Survey purpose:
This survey collects social, financial and operating data required to produce statistics for your industry.
Coverage:
Please complete a questionnaire for the operation and location described on the label. You should only report for those facilities located in Canada.
Confidentiality:
Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information from this survey which would identify any person, business, or organisation, unless consent has been given by the respondent or as permitted by the Statistics Act. The information from this survey will be treated in strict confidence, used for statistical purposes and published in aggregate form only. The confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act are not affected by either the Access to Information Act or any other legislation.
Data-sharing agreements
To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government and non-government organizations, which must keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada wll only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.
Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.
For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon.
The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.
Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations or non-government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician and returning it with the completed questionnaire. Please specify the organizations with which you do not want to share your data.
For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, and with the Canadian Institute for Health Information, Health Canada, and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.
Record linkages
To enhance the data from this survey, Statistics Canada may combine it with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Instructions for page 3
C. Total days of care during reporting period (by responsibility for payment)
A day of care is the period of service to a resident between the census taking hours on two successive days. The total days of care are the number of days of care in the reporting period or year. A facility of four beds and 100 percent occupancy would report total days of care as (4 x 365) 1,460. A facility of four beds in which one bed was not occupied for 31 days during the year would report total days of care as 1,429. This could be calculated as [(4 x 365) – 31] or counting each day that each bed was occupied [(1 x 365) + (1 x 365) + (1 x 365) + (1 x 334)]. If unable to provide a breakdown, please estimate, or if unable to estimate then report days under major funding agency.
Line a. Days charged to a Provincial or Territorial Government Health Program or Department.

Many facilities for the developmentally delayed will have most of their residents in this category.
Line e. Type II Care – that required by a person with a relatively stabilised (physical or mental) chronic disease or functional disability. They have reached the apparent limit of recovery, and are not likely to change in the near future.
