How do I choose between a long-term care home and retirement residence?

How do I choose between a long-term care home and retirement residence?

The type of home needed depends on the person’s needs and their capacity of functioning in their daily life. If the person is independent or requires minimum to moderate assistance in the daily routine, a retirement residence suits their needs. If the person needs some type of assistance, they can choose a retirement residence such as Good Samaritan that offers extra care.

If your loved one requires full support in activities of daily living, you could consider long-term care. In Ontario, the CCAC or Discharge Planner in hospital will assist in the process. With their advice and the assessment from your physician, you will be better able to make the right decision.

What is the difference between a retirement residence and a long-term care home?

What is the difference between a retirement residence and a long-term care home?

Long-term care homes are designed for people who require the availability of 24-hour nursing care and supervision within a secure setting. In general, long-term care homes offer higher levels of personal care and support than those typically offered by either retirement homes or supportive housing.

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”.
