Learn about family member experience and quality of care in continuing care homes – type A (formerly called long term care) across Alberta. We believe reporting about continuing care homes is important to support transparency, quality improvement and a better understanding of Alberta’s healthcare system. Data in this section was collected in 2022-23, and released in 2024.

The Alberta Continuing Care Act changed on April 1, 2024, renaming what was formerly known as Long Term Care. Learn more about the changes.

Starting a Conversation

Why do we talk about things like whether continuing care home residents are admitted to the hospital from the emergency department or if they return to the emergency department within seven days after their last visit? The healthcare system is complex and inter-related. What’s happening in emergency departments and acute care (hospitals), as well as other areas of the healthcare system, can impact residents’ and their family members’ experience in continuing care homes.

These 25 interactive charts present administrative data as well as family experience survey data. You can compare information about continuing care home sites or zones, and look at data presented over time.
