No. Retirement homes in Ontario are private-pay, and the province does not pay the rent. Ontario funds long-term care homes instead, where residents pay a regulated accommodation fee. Ontario Health atHome may still provide some care services to a retirement home resident, and pensions such as OAS, GIS and CPP, plus the care portion of fees claimed as a medical expense, can help cover the cost.
Yes. Besides retirement homes, Sarnia has independent living communities and 55+ rental apartments for active seniors who don't need daily care. They cost less than a retirement home because care and most meals aren't included.
