Residential Care Facilities
Abstract
The term "residential care facilities" refers to facilities with
four beds or more that are funded, licensed or approved by provincial/territorial
departments of health and/or social services. This report focuses on facilities
for the aged, facilities for persons with mental disorders and other facilities
which provide health or social care. Facilities for the aged include homes for
the aged, nursing homes, lodges for senior citizens and rest homes. Certain
facilities such as apartments or other homes for seniors not providing any level
of care were not included. Facilities for persons with mental disorders include
facilities for the psychiatrically disabled, mentally retarded, emotionally
disturbed children and centres for those with drug/alcohol problems. Some psychiatric
institutions are included here. Other residential care facilities include those
that do not fit in any of the previous categories such as facilities for persons
with physical disabilities, for delinquents, for transients, for emotionally
disturbed children and facilities that do not fit in any of the other categories.
