Ownership of long-term care homes Canada

As of 2021, the majority of long-term care (LTC) homes in Canada were privately owned, amounting to 54 percent. However, the ownership breakdown is very diverse among the various provinces. LTC homes can have a number of different names throughout the nation such as nursing homes, continuing care facilities, and residential care homes among others. They're funded entirely or partially by the government and offer 24-hour nursing care, personal care, and other therapeutic and support services.

Supplementary notes

Long-term care (LTC) homes — also called nursing homes, continuing care facilities and residential care homes — provide a wide range of health and personal care services for Canadians with medical or physical needs who require access to 24-hour nursing care, personal care and other therapeutic and support services.
Data includes LTC homes where health care is either entirely or partially funded by the provincial or territorial government. It does not include information on congregate living facilities that don’t provide 24 hour nursing care or receive public funding (e.g., assisted living, supportive housing, retirement homes).

Data for all jurisdiction is as of March 31, 2021, except Quebec (as of April1, 2021) and Alberta (as of February 28, 2021).
Private for-profit and not-for-profit ownership breakdown information for some long-term care homes in Quebec, Ontario, and Alberta was not available at the time of publication
