How are the LTC homes funded by the Province of Ontario?
The MOHLTC pays directly for the costs of nursing and personal care, as well as for activation, through a funding formula determined by the province. Residents pay for their room and food. Often the governing bodies of not-for-profit homes (including municipalities) augment funding to enhance services. Costs to be paid by residents (not by their families) are set by the province, and are subject to change. The Provinces expects that charges are affordable to any applicant.
