What is the difference between a retirement residence and a long-term care home?
Long-term care homes offer a variety of accommodation options. People living in a home pay a fee for accommodation that is based on the type or style of accommodation. “Preferred Accommodation” is the term used to describe private or semi-private rooms with special features, whereas “Basic or Standard Accommodation” refers to the style of rooms that the home offers in this category.
The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) provides funding for homes. The amount paid by residents for their accommodation is called a “co-payment”.
Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. These settings enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. Retirement homes are also called “retirement residences”.
