Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information:
This indicator is calculated as the percentage of households receiving home care services in the past 12 months that reported that these services were very helpful in allowing the recipient(s) to stay at home.
For the purposes of this indicator, both privately and publicly funded home care services are included. This includes services received because of a health condition or a limitation in daily activities. It excludes informal help from family, friends or neighbors. Home care services that are unrelated to staying at home are also excluded.
The indicator does not capture people who previously received home care but are no longer at home. This could result in more favorable responses, since those for whom home care was not helpful to stay at home may now be living elsewhere.
