Types Of Senior Apartments In Canada

Article was written by Alex Alexandrovich

Seniors aged 55 and over in Canada can choose from a variety of housing projects designed especially for them. Whether you live in an urban or rural area, you're sure to find a project to fit your needs. These projects are available in a range of styles, sizes, amenities and features.

When it comes to senior housing, there are four distinct types to choose from. However, two homes in the same category could vary greatly, depending on their age, management company, location, and the kind of seniors they cater to. Therefore, the options range from the basic to the sumptuous, the tiny to the sprawling, and the economical to the costly.

Independent Living Communities

Retirement communities and senior apartments, designed with healthy active adults over 55 in mind, provide all the comfort and convenience necessary for independent living. In addition to maid and laundry services, many of these communities boast on-site or nearby shopping, restaurants, and transportation, while the more luxurious offerings may include a pool, golf course, gardens, and a gym.

Explore your options with a budget between $1,400 and $3,500 per month!

Assisted Living

Designed to provide seniors with the necessary daily assistance they need, but not the intense care found in nursing homes, these facilities offer a variety of services, such as meals, help with dressing and grooming, housekeeping, laundry and medical management. Plus, they provide access to medical personnel, onsite recreational and social activities, and health and exercise programs.

The cost of our services varies from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the location, features, and whether medical or health services are necessary.

Residential Care Homes

Senior group homes, similar to Assisted Living facilities, are intimate living environments with a limited number of residents. Rather than apartments, these homes offer semi-private or private rooms and communal dining areas. To ensure the safety and well-being of residents, they often have on-site nursing staff to provide medical care and supervision.

Explore your options for monthly payments ranging from $1,500 to $4,500!

Alzheimer’s / Dementia Care

Our specialized care facilities for seniors with dementia and Alzheimer's provide an ideal environment for those in need. Located in a secure, separate part of a nursing home or assisted living facility, these residences offer a range of living arrangements including private and semi-private rooms and apartments. Offering a wide variety of activities, the experienced and certified staff members are specially trained to provide the best care for these individuals.

You can enjoy a monthly rent ranging from $3,000 to a maximum of $7,000.
