Long-Term Care and Assisted Living
One of the most commonly asked questions people have is, when it is time to make the move into residential care and what is the difference and costs between Long-Term care and Assisted Living ?
Subsidized Housing
Subsidized housing is long-term housing for people who permanently reside in Canada. Rental fees are calculated on a rent geared to income basis. You may be eligible for subsidized housing if you can live independently.
In-Home Care
In-Home Care is a flexible service where caregivers aid with chores in your home. These services help maintain the home so hopefully it will prevent the stresses and anxiety of moving a senior to a different level of care.
Nursing Care
When serious and chronic health issues affect someone you love, you might think the only option is assisted living or a nursing home. But the familiarity and comfort of staying at your own home can make all the difference in the quality of life.

A power of attorney is a legal document you can use to appoint someone to make financial and legal decisions for you. The most important thing is to choose someone you trust that will follow your wishes.
