Long Term Care Family Experience Survey

Published in November, 2011 by the Health Quality Council of Alberta. Using the CAHPS Nursing Home Survey: Family Member Instrument, the 2010/2011 Survey repeated a survey done in 2007/8, the first long term care experience survey done at the provincial level. The survey sought to:
  •  identify areas of excellence and opportunities for improvement
  • compare information across the province
  • provide an opportunity for facilities to compare results from the previous survey

The questionnaire collected the following information:
  • resident and respondent characteristics
  • family experience and perceptions
  • family member ratings
  • willingness to recommend the home
  • suggestions for improvement

This survey on looks outdated. Is there a much newer version of it? I think survey guide on long term care plans is done on an annual basis.
