Retirement Homes Ontario
Retirement Homes
Most Retirement homes in Ontario are privately owned. Each resident has their own room and meals, and some assistance is provided by the healthcare staff. Residents share living room spaces and there are often activities and events each month. The cost for living in a retirement home can range from $5,000 to $15,000 a month depending on the location and the level of care needed.

Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority
Established in 2011, the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority is an independent, self-funded, not-for-profit regulator mandated by the government to protect and ensure the safety and well-being of seniors living in Ontario’s retirement homes under the Retirement Homes Act, 2010.
We put residents first by ensuring retirement homes follow the rules and by sharing unbiased, transparent safety information with seniors and their loved ones. We do this by:
-
Inspecting homes to ensure they comply with the Retirement Homes Act, 2010
-
Taking action when they do not
-
Addressing reports of harm or risk of harm to residents
-
Responding to resident and family complaints
