Frequently asked questions

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

Retirement homes are private residences for seniors who are mostly independent but want meals, activities and some care services, paid privately. Long-term care homes provide 24-hour nursing and personal care; the Ontario government funds the care and sets the accommodation fee, and admission is arranged through Ontario Health atHome.

How do I apply for long-term care in Richmond Hill & Markham?

Contact Ontario Health atHome for an assessment. If your loved one is eligible, a care coordinator helps you choose homes and puts you on their wait lists.

What should I look for when touring a residence?

Visit at mealtime if you can. Ask what the monthly fee includes and what costs extra, how care needs are reassessed, how many staff are on duty at night, and what happens if care needs increase.
