In 2014, these establishments had 41,815 spots available for those with a substantial loss of autonomy, with 1,495 of them in Estrie. Too many people waiting to be placed in appropriate accommodations means taking up a hospital bed when they don\u2019t have to. This happens because there aren\u2019t enough spots available in care facilities or rehabilitation centres.
