Understanding Your Senior Living Choices
When exploring housing choices for yourself or a loved one, finding the right fit comes down to personal support needs and lifestyle preferences. For active seniors who are not ready for a retirement residence, Condo Living offers a low-maintenance, independent option closer to home. When additional daily support or care is needed, housing typically transitions to Private Retirement Residences or Government-Assisted Long-Term Care Homes.
Government-Assisted Long-Term Care Homes are government-subsidized, medically focused facilities for people needing 24-hour skilled nursing and high care needs, with admission controlled by the government, making them the choice for those with complex health issues and limited budget.
Service Name
These facilities are heavily subsidized by the government, typically costing $3000/mth for a basic room. These homes provide 24-hour nursing and personal care for people with high needs, chronic conditions, or significant cognitive impairment. The first point of contact is Ontario Health atHome (310-2222).
