Description:

This dataset shows how often informal long-term carers rely on various types of care services.

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.

For each type of service, the numbers indicate what percentage (%) of all people involved in informal long-term care have selected each frequency category for that type of service.

Respondents were asked about nine types of care services:

  • Residential long-term care facilities/ institutions
  • Daycare centre
  • Home-based personal care workers
  • Nurse and/or health care assistants
  • Domestic cleaners and helpers
  • Live-in carers (paid professionals living in the household)
  • Social worker
  • Volunteer
  • Other healthcare professionals

For each type of service, respondents selected one frequency category from the following list:

  • Every day
  • 4 to 6 days a week
  • 1 to 3 days a week
  • Less often
  • Never
