Assisted living in Ontario

If you or a loved one wants to maintain a high degree of independence while having access to occasional support on a daily basis, assisted living is a balanced and reassuring option in Ontario. This type of residence is designed for seniors who are capable of living independently but who benefit from a safety net for certain tasks or specific needs.

Senior residences offering independent living with assistance allow residents to maintain an active and independent lifestyle, while providing access to support services tailored to their changing needs. Unlike more structured care environments, assistance is generally flexible and customizable, often offered à la carte or partially included in the monthly rent. It is therefore essential to carefully evaluate what is included and what incurs additional costs before making a choice.

The support services offered in these residences in Ontario may include, depending on the facility:

• assistance with preparing or eating meal

• light support for personal hygiene

• the management or supervision of medication

• housekeeping and laundry

• transport and travel assistance

• access to on-site personnel when needed

• and other complementary services depending on the level of assistance required
