Important Update from Ministry of Long Term Care Regarding Accomodations Charges

Effective July 1, 2025, an inflationary increase of 2.4 per cent (%) will be applied to the co-payment rates for basic and preferred accommodation in Long-Term Care (LTC) Homes.

The basic co-payment rate will increase from $66.95 (or $2,036.40 per month) to $68.56 per day (or $2,085.37 per month). This represents an increase of $1.61 per day. Residents who choose semi-private or private accommodation are charged an additional premium above the daily basic co-payment rate. The respective premiums for semi-private and private accommodation will also increase by 2.4%, effective July 1, 2025.

Please refer to the enclosed bulletin for the applicable preferred accommodation rates for your home.

As outlined in Ontario Regulation 246/22, the annual co-payment rate increase is based on the rate of inflation measured by the change in the prior year Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI), and is capped at 2.5%. Given the change in the prior year CPI was 2.4%, an inflationary increase of 2.4% will be applied, effective July 1, 2025.
