Senior care in Canada operates under provincial licensing and a layered mix of public funding (Old Age Security, the Guaranteed Income Supplement, provincial long-term-care programs) and private pay. The terminology shifts province to province - what Ontario calls a "retirement home" is a different licensing category from what BC calls "independent living," and provincial long-term-care homes are different again. Our Canada coverage breaks down the provincial differences, walks through how to apply for publicly-subsidized long-term care in each major province, and explains where private retirement homes fit in the continuum.
We also cover the cross-border considerations for families with parents who split time between Canada and the US.
