As reported by the Ministry of Health and Wellness (2019), there are currently 14 facilities registered under the Nursing Homes Registration (1934). The nursing homes are required to register every two years. There are other private nursing homes in operation that are not currently registered under this act and, as such, pose a challenge in providing an accurate estimate.
