In collaboration with Alberta Health (AH) and Alberta Health Services (AHS), we conducted surveys of residents and family members between July 2022 to March 2023 in facility-based continuing care across Alberta. The information collected and analyzed gives voice to residents living in these facilities and their families, and is shared with each site, Alberta Health, operators, and leaders in continuing care to help inform improvements. Ultimately, these results are intended to guide reflection and assist in identifying quality improvement opportunities.
Facility-based continuing care operators received site-specific survey results in the summer of 2023, which provided detailed information about their site that can be used for ongoing monitoring and quality improvement.

In addition to these reports, we have updated measures for supportive living and long term care on our FOCUS on Healthcare website. This tool allows further interaction with the data. Visit FOCUS.
