How much do retirement homes cost in Oshawa?

Most retirement homes in Ontario are private-pay, funded from a blend of pensions, retirement savings, and home equity. Government pensions form the floor: the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, and the income-tested Guaranteed Income Supplement for lower-income seniors. Provincial benefits and Veterans Affairs Canada may offset part of the cost. For a full breakdown, read our guide on what senior living really costs in canada.

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.
