Public long-term care and home care for Wheatley residents

Ontario residents, including those in smaller communities like Wheatley, access publicly funded long-term care and home care through Ontario Health atHome (formerly Home and Community Care Support Services). You don't apply to a long-term care home directly; an assessment determines eligibility, and families then choose which homes to be waitlisted for. Long-term care accommodation co-payments are set by the province, with a rate reduction available for low-income residents. Retirement homes, like The Meadows of Wheatley, are private-pay and are licensed and regulated by the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority (RHRA), which keeps a public register — it's worth checking that register before signing any agreement.
