What's inside
The options explained
Staying at home with more help, retirement homes and long-term care in Ontario.
Before and during the tour
What to look up first, and what to look for when you visit.
Questions about costs and care
What's included, what costs extra, and what happens if needs change.
A comparison worksheet
Compare up to three homes side by side, on screen or on paper.
Red flags
Warning signs, including how to check a home's licence and inspections.
A moving checklist
For a calm, well-planned move.
How it's personalized
If you've made a free Family Support Map, it uses your most recent answers, so there's nothing more to fill in. If not, you'll answer a few short questions first, and get a free Map too. It uses your loved one's first name, and never their address.
What it isn't
It's practical guidance, not legal or financial advice. Details are always worth checking with each home, the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority, Ontario Health atHome or ontario.ca.
