Abstract
In 1996, there were 240,000 Canadians receiving care in continuing care centres and this number is expected to triple or even quadruple by the year 2031 (Health Canada, 2002). Currently more women than men (38% v/s 24%) over the age of 85 years require continuing care (nursing home), and this age group will continue to be the fastest growing group in the future (Health Canada, 2002). Mullins and Hartley (2002) estimate that 43% of older people aged 65 years and older will spend some time in a continuing care centre before they die.
