The proportion of Canadians aged 65 years and older was 17% in 2016 and is expected to rise to 20% by 2024, based on Statistics Canada's current demographic projections. This will likely lead to increased demand for long-term and residential care for older Canadians, but age is only one factor leading Canadians to move out of their homes. A new article released in today's Health Reports examines other demographic and health factors that affect transitions to long-term care. (Source: Statistics Canada, The Daily: Health)
