December 7, 2023 ⚊ 1 Min read ⚊ Views 207 ⚊ BLOG
A care home is a rented home that provides care services. You may get meals, housekeeping, and recreational services where you live, but that is not enough to make it a care home. A care home must have at least one of the care services in the list below.
Care services include nursing care, supervision of prescription drugs, an emergency response system, transportation services, and incontinence care. As well as support with daily activities such as: eating, bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. You are considered a care home tenant only if getting care services was one of the reasons you moved into a care home.
Care home tenants are covered by the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) and have many of the same rights to residence standards as other tenants. If you reside in a care home, you have the right to a safe, well-maintained home, like any other tenant. Your landlord cannot evict you without a valid reason. Call us at 437 747 8000.
