Nursing and residential care facilities in 2020: Implications from the first year of the pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many industries, but may have presented its greatest challenge to Canada's nursing and residential care facilities. It was devastating to the lives of Canadian seniors and the front-line workers who protect them.
With this release, Statistics Canada uses administrative files and other sources of data to publish financial estimates for the industry. The total operating revenue of the nursing and residential care facilities industry, covering public and privately owned facilities, grew by 7.4% to $34.6 billion in 2020. To further understand the implications and outcomes of the health crisis, Statistics Canada has also published industry characteristic information on nursing and residential care facilities.
