Long-term Care Continuum

Feedback

Long-term care (LTC) spans across a continuum of services and settings designed to support individuals, primarily seniors, who require health and personal care services over an extended period.1

LTC services can be delivered at home, in hospital, or in a long-term care home, such as a nursing or residential care home.

This sub-module provides information on the health care workers in this sector providing care to some of Canada’s most vulnerable populations. It currently focuses on long-term care homes but will evolve to include other places where LTC services are delivered as well as highlight population needs and demand for LTC across the country.

Have questions or looking for information on how to use these dashboards? Please visit the FAQ or launch the guided tutorial in the Provider Profiles module.

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional territories of many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We are grateful to the people who have cared for the land for centuries and the current stewards who care for it today. We recognize and celebrate the strength and resilience of Indigenous health workers, and we embrace the opportunity to work closely together to advance cultural safety for those who provide care and those we care for.

Who we are

Health Workforce Canada was established in 2023 to strengthen health workforce data and planning to ensure health workers are there to provide the care people need.

We bring people together to identify what works and what doesn’t in health workforce data, planning, policy and care. Through our efforts, we are contributing to a cost-effective and sustainable health care system.
