For this reason, the facilities strive to attain as high a level of comfort as possible for the residents. Residents are encouraged to provide some of their own furnishings such as an easy chair, pictures or television. Lounges and other large gathering spaces are available for group activities or when residents wish to sit quietly and visit with one or two people. The facilities are designed with many safety measures, such as handrails, well marked doorways, non-skid floors, and a high level of lighting. Fees Residents pay according to a needs-tested sliding scale set by the province.
Additional charges apply for preferred accommodation.
Special needs may permit reduction of this fee. Admission Eligibility Making the decision to seek accommodation in a long-term care facility is not an easy one. You need to consider using community services in your own home before accepting admission to a residential facility. Region of Peel residents are eligible for admission to a facility if their long-term care needs cannot be met in the community. Current waiting periods can exceed a year from the date of approval.
