Description:

This dataset shows how many hours in a typical week the respondents' main long-term care recipients use care services. The numbers indicate what percentage (%) of all people who provide informal long-term care for a recipient who also uses care services have selected each hour band.

Long-term care refers to a range of supportive services and medical assistance provided to individuals who require extended or ongoing help with activities of daily living, for a minimum of three months.

Respondents were asked "How many hours in a typical week does your main care recipient use for any of the care services?" They selected one hour band from the following list:

  • 1-7 weekly hours (e.g. approx. 1 hour per day)
  • 8-21 weekly hours (e.g. more than 1 up to 3 hours per day)
  • 22-35 weekly hours (e.g. more than 3 up to 5 hours per day)
  • 36-49 weekly hours (e.g. more than 5 up to 7 hours per day)
  • 50-70 weekly hours (e.g. more than 7 up to 10 hours per day)
  • 71 or more weekly hours (e.g. more than 10 hours per day)
