Health Quality Alberta

Health Quality Alberta is a provincial agency that brings together patients, families, and partners from across healthcare and academia to inspire improvement in patient safety, person-centred care, and health service quality. Learn more about their work here. 

This summer, Health Quality Alberta will survey residents and families about their experiences in Alberta’s Type A and B continuing care homes.

You can support this work by helping share information (provided to homes by Health Quality Alberta) and encouraging residents and family members to complete the survey. 
This survey was previously the Facility-based Continuing Care Survey (long term care and designated supportive living). Results from this previous survey are available here.

For more details on the 2026 survey and how it impacts those working in a continuing care home, see the attached Staff Fact Sheet.

Note, this year Prairie Research Associates (PRA) has been contracted to assist in managing the survey process. Trained survey interviewers may visit continuing care homes to help eligible residents complete the survey in an interview format. Other eligible residents will be given a paper survey. Families will be invited to participate in an online survey sent via email.

Health Quality Alberta will offer sessions in the fall to support homes in reviewing their results and to help them use the results to have an impact on improving care and services. Stay tuned for webinar dates by emailing Ashi Mehta at Ashi.Mehta@hqa.ca
