Seniors in Transition: Exploring Pathways Across the Care Continuum
Growth in Canada’s seniors population is expected to accelerate over the next 20 years. This will place greater demands on the continuing care sector.
This report and its companion products can help us better understand how Canada’s seniors transition from living independently to receiving continuing care services, and what factors influence their transition into residential care.
AVÐÇÇò’s analysis examines the following questions:
- How many seniors who enter residential care might have been able to be supported in home care?
- What are the key factors that influence entering residential care?
- How does being assessed in a hospital influence admission to residential care?
- Do wait times in alternate level of care differ depending on the service to which seniors are discharged?
