Costs of Senior Care
“What type of retirement care can I afford?” It’s one of the most common questions that seniors ask themselves, and it’s an important one to think about and plan for as well.
Across Canada, the amount you can expect to pay for housing options for older adults will vary greatly, depending on such factors as the size and location of the affordable senior housing for rent, the type of affordable senior living community being offered, and the quality and number of amenities.
The average monthly rent for affordable retirement homes across Ontario according to the Government of Ontario is $1,500-$6,000 per month. Often when Canadians have compared the costs of owning their own home, having private home care, or other senior assisted living options, they often find that paying for senior care in a retirement community is a much more affordable option.
