Eligibility

Clients are assessed during the intake process to ensure placement in the most appropriate residential care setting available.

Referral Needed

The Centralized Placement Team receives referrals from Home Care for clients who require access to a designated living option to support their healthcare needs. The team provides supports to clients and their family through the transition to a continuing care living option.

To access a designated living option a referral is made through the North Zone CCA team. A Home Care Case Manager will contact the client to review their healthcare needs.

Wait Times

The wait time depends on space availability at a preferred site.

Fees

Continuing care and supportive living centres have fees called accommodation charges. If the person is waiting in an Acute Care hospital, they are also requied to pay accommodation charges. There may be other fees for services such as telephone, laundry etc. In Designated Supportive Living Level 4, residents may need to provide their own furniture, health supplies (e.g., incontinence and diabetic supplies), and medications.

Fee reduction may be available. If you qualify as low-income, you can apply for help with accommodation charges.
