Among the 6 Hamilton providers that publish a starting rate, costs run from $2,000 to $8,128 per month. The final number depends on care type, suite size, and the level of care needed.

Typical costs are illustrative Canadian ranges; long-term care is income-tested and home care is billed hourly. Hamilton range reflects providers that publish a starting rate. Request quotes for exact pricing.
Government pensions form the floor: the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, and the income-tested Guaranteed Income Supplement. Ontario seniors benefits and Veterans Affairs Canada may offset part of the cost.
Ontario retirement homes are licensed by the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority (RHRA); long-term care is publicly funded and income-tested through Ontario Health atHome, while retirement and assisted living are mostly private-pay.
