retirees or semi-retirees. Your local real estate agent can help you find an
adult lifestyle community.
LONG-TERM CARE HOMES
Long-term care homes are designed for people who need help
with daily activities, supervision in a secure setting and/or access to 24-hour
nursing care. They are also known as
nursing homes, municipal homes for the aged or charitable homes for the aged.
This link will take you to the Ontario Long Term Care Association. The Association’s member homes are funded and
regulated by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
RETIREMENT HOMES
Retirement homes are private businesses that sell various
combinations of accommodations from shared rooms to large apartments as well as
support services and personal care. The Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority licenses
and inspects the province’s retirement homes and maintains a public register of
all homes that have been granted or have applied for a license.
