Description:

This dataset shows how often in a typical week providers of informal long-term care provide different types of help to their main care recipient. For each type of help, the numbers indicate what percentage (%) of all people involved in informal long-term care have selected each frequency category for that type of help.

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 about three types of help:

  • Personal and emotional care (e.g. bathing, dressing, getting out of bed, comforting a person)
  • Household help (e.g. shopping, cooking, cleaning)
  • Administrative/other help (e.g. helping with paperwork, managing finances, transportation)

Respondents selected one frequency category from the following list for each type of help:

  • Every day
  • 4 to 6 days a week
  • 1 to 3 days a week
  • Less often
