The Experience of Care survey collects information from patients, clients, residents, and/or family members on their perceptions of the services they have received. The survey is a structured way of asking the people we serve how we are doing in areas such as respect, communication, and comfort. It also encourages respondents to rate their level of satisfaction with the care experience.
