June 8, 2023 – Government of PEI: The provincial government is launching a public survey to gather information from unpaid caregivers in Prince Edward Island, to better understand their experiences providing care to a friend or family member.
The survey will ask questions about caregiving situations such as, who is receiving care, duration and type of care provided, and the emotional, social, and financial impact of caregiving. The survey will also ask people what is working well and ideas about ways to improve the support for caregivers. The data gathered on the experiences of Island caregivers will help develop programs to support them.
“Our government is committed to renewing and rebuilding the way we provide care to Islanders,” says Health and Wellness Minister Mark McLane. “As part of that we want to support the people who provide in-home care for friends or loved ones. This is an opportunity for government to learn from the experiences of Islanders.”
