Care delivery time plateauing after months of increases

Welcome to the December 2025 edition.

Revenue

Average Daily Subsidy remains stable as slight declines in the most recent month are backfilled over the following weeks with reassessments that are backdated.

Occupancy

Occupancy was relatively unchanged, decreasing ever so slightly by -0.01%, which is the first time occupancy has decreased in five months. The slowdown in occupancy was likely caused by the number of permanent admissions falling by -76.49%. This was brought on by consumers motived to be admitted under the previous payment rules and avoid a 2% retention fee on RAD payments. So, the swell of admissions in September and October has led to a drop off in demand in November. Respite usage declined again from the spike in September and is now back to previous levels.

Workforce management

Total care time increased slightly from October to November however RN decreased, with total time increasing by 0.63% and RN time decreasing by -0.25%. Care delivery time appears to be plateauing after four months of significant increases.
