Retirement care in Ontario is second to none. Seniors homes and assisted living homes throughout the province offer the best care available, where residents have a lot more free time than they would if they were living in their own home.
At an assisted living facility, a professional and dedicated staff will take care of your needs, including laundry, housekeeping, and day-to-day maintenance. In consequence, you will have more time to explore passions that you may have hitherto put off, as many people find when they move into retirement. Ontario is the perfect place for this exploration, as you choose a location that is close to the things you enjoy.
In Ontario, homes are covered under the Residential Tenancies Act of 2006; this Act gives residents the right cancel a tenancy agreement, within 5 days of signing the agreement (c.17, s.141 [2]). Under provisions of the Act, there must be a contract for services "as a basic consumer protection measure." The law also provides other basic protections for seniors; for one example, there is a requirement for 90 days' notice of any increase in service charges (s.57.21, c.78). We urge you to learn more about the Residential Tenancies Act and also Ontario's Retirement Homes Act.
There are plenty of reasons you might consider an assisted living home. Here are a few advantages:
Some homes will provide a continuum of care that may also make memory care and other care options available. Consult individual homes to learn the level of care they offer and be sure to check out all your options in local assisted living facilities, as residences are all very unique.
Across the province of Ontario, assisted living facilities vary in price, depending on a number of factors. These factors are most importantly the quality of the home, the level of care offered and general real estate prices in the area. Here's a look at some examples of costs for assisted living facilities in some Ontario cities.
City | Starting cost/month | What's included |
Windsor, ON | $1700 | Basic accommodations |
Mississauga, ON | $2995 | Housekeeping and more |
London, ON | $2995 | Housekeeping and more |
Ottawa, ON | $4500 | bathing, dressing assistance & more |
Those are just some examples of what you might pay. We offer a fuiller look at assisted living costs in Ontario, with specific detailed tables examining costs in the GTA and costs in Ottawa Region.
Paying for assisted living need not be prohibitive for Ontario families. When all costs are covered under one umbrella, this makes it easier to match up with monthly income and other financial resources. Take a look at our advice on how people pay for care.
When you and your family visit an assisted living centre or residence, be sure to ask as many questions as you can possibly think of, as both you and the home’s administrators need to identify whether there is a fit. Talking to residents and their families may also be helpful.
You should also learn about the particulars of each home. Some questions you may have may include the following. Do they allow pets? Do they cater to special diets (i.e. vegetarian, diabetic)? Are there any hidden costs? What is the home’s visiting policy? Empower yourself with knowledge to avoid any regrets.
Many people "of a certain generation" find it hard to admit that they need help. It's difficult to get people to set aside assumptions they have about "homes" and about what life is like inside one of today's senior care communities. One way to change minds is to get people to go and look at the homes themselves. But even before that, possibly, there is the word of others.
Take, for example, one Ontario senior woman, delightfully surprised by the fact that her assisted living care home has a 24 hour tea room. She tells us, "there's always someone to sit and chat with, over a cup of tea." This is just one of many features you might find in one of today's retirement homes.
Another example is a fellow named Nick who moved into a Toronto senior assisted living home after he had a heart attack and heart surgery. His joints became inflamed and he had to give up a number of things he loved. "I didn't think I'd make it," said Nick. He decided to move out of the home he shared with his mother and brother and move into communal living, and as he has told us, "I never looked back."
If you get out to an assisted living home near you and talk to people who live there, many will tell you that they "haven't lived this well in years." Many people feel a sense of renewal when they move into the kinds of high quality assisted living facilities listed here. People feel revived by all the freedom they have and take on volunteering and many other activities they may not have had time for before.
