What long-term care homes provide

What to look for before choosing
Ontario Health atHome coordinates applications and placement. Families should also review inspection history, staffing, specialized programs, room options, wait-list information and how a home responds when a resident's needs change.

Common questions about long-term care homes
- How much does long-term care cost in Ontario?
- The province sets standard co-payment rates for all licensed long-term care homes, with three tiers: basic, semi-private, and private accommodation. Basic rooms are the most subsidized and have the longest waitlists, while private rooms cost more but often have shorter wait times. Actual out-of-pocket cost depends on the accommodation type chosen, not the level of care provided, since nursing and medical care is publicly funded.
- How do I know when someone needs long-term care instead of home care or a retirement home?
- Long-term care is usually the right step when a person needs 24-hour nursing supervision, has advanced dementia, or has medical needs that home care or retirement home staff aren't equipped to manage safely. An eligibility assessment through your local Home and Community Care Support Services office determines whether someone qualifies before they can be placed on a waitlist.
- What should I expect during the waitlist process?
- After an assessment confirms eligibility, families can apply to up to five homes at once and can change their list as wait times shift. Wait times vary widely by home and room type. Basic rooms at popular homes can take a year or more, while private rooms or less in-demand homes may open up faster.
- How can I judge the quality of care at a specific home?
- Check the home's public inspection reports for compliance orders and recurring issues, ask about staff-to-resident ratios on evening and night shifts, and talk to current family members if possible. Consistent staffing, an active family council, and clear communication during a tour are practical signs worth weighing alongside inspection history.
