Accomodation Rates
The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care of Ontario sets a common rate to be charged by all long-term care homes in the province. The rate is based on monthly entitlement for Old Age Security (OAS), the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), and the Guaranteed Annual Income Supplement (GAINS). These rates were set as of July 1, 2011 and may be subject to change by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

If you are a permanent resident in basic accommodation, you may be eligible for a rate reduction. This requires your Notice of Assessment (T-1 Assessment) from the previous year. This notice is sent from Revenue Canada as a result of filing income tax.
The preferred accommodation rate for semi-private and private rooms is an additional $8 per day and $18 per day respectively. There is no rate reduction subsidy for semi-private and private accommodation.
Any newly admitted resident is not eligible for a change of accommodation level for the first year of residency. The reason for this is that for Lanark Lodge there are shorter waiting periods for private and semi-private rooms. Therefore, to allow early movement could result in the potential for manipulating an earlier admission. However, after one year, application in writing can be made asking for a lower accommodation level, and the resident is placed on a waiting list. |
