Across the province, the overall median starting rate is $2,104, with assisted living specifically running close to a median of $2,189.

Public long-term care and home care for Lingan Road residents

Publicly funded long-term care and home care in Nova Scotia are both arranged through Continuing Care, part of the Department of Health and Wellness. Residents or family members call 1-800-225-7225 to request an assessment; a Care Coordinator then evaluates the person's needs and discusses either home care support or an application for a nursing home or residential care facility bed. Home care is always considered the first option where it can meet the person's needs, and can include personal care, nursing visits and light housekeeping.

Accommodation charges for publicly funded long-term care are set provincially, not by the individual home, and are income-tested: residents who can pay the full standard daily rate do not need a financial assessment, while those who cannot may qualify for a reduction. Demand for long-term care beds can exceed supply in some areas, and a Care Coordinator will advise if a wait-list applies (Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness, Long Term Care; Home Care).
