Assisted Living

The Assisted Living Program provides eligible seniors with the personal support services needed to allow them to continue living on their own (or with an informal caregiver) for as long as possible.

Who can participate?

These services are currently available to individuals 65 years of age or older who:

• Live in their own private home or within a residential setting such as an apartment building but cannot live safely with current formal and/or informal supports.
• Demonstrate a need for daily access to personal support services throughout a 24-hour period (may or may not require homemaking services).
• Are able to direct their own care or have a substitute decision-maker or a live-in caregiver to direct care.
• Are able to communicate their needs (with or without aids).
• Are medically stable (medical and professional needs can be met by Ontario Health atHome, family physician or other community providers.)
• Pose no risk to themselves or others.

How will persons be referred and admitted to Assisted Living services?

The Assisted Living Program is a referral-based program. To start this process, please consult your family physician or contact Ontario Health atHome by phone at 613-745-5525.

Priority will be given to:

• Hospitalized high-risk seniors.

• High-risk seniors living in the community in imminent need of a higher level of care and who are at risk of hospitalization or admission to long-term care.
