Frequently Asked Questions

How much does assisted living cost in Canada?
Private retirement and assisted living homes in Canada typically cost $3,500 to $6,000+ per month for base accommodation, plus extra care fees of a few hundred to a few thousand dollars monthly as needs increase. Costs vary widely by city and level of luxury.
What is the difference between a retirement home and a long-term care home in Canada?
Retirement (assisted living) homes are private pay and are for seniors who need some help but not 24-hour nursing. Long-term care homes serve people with higher medical needs and are publicly funded with a capped, income-tested co-payment. Wait lists for LTC homes can be long.
Is assisted living subsidized in Canada?
Generally private retirement homes are not subsidized, though some provinces offer means-tested supportive-housing or assisted-living subsidies in designated units. Publicly funded long-term care, by contrast, is income-tested with a rate reduction for basic accommodation.
What extra fees should I expect in assisted living?
Beyond base rent, expect charges for care levels (medication management, bathing, dressing), second-person occupancy, incontinence supplies, and premium suites. Ask for an itemized fee schedule and how fees increase as care needs rise.
