What is the difference between senior living and long term care?
Understanding what makes a Chartwell retirement residence different than a residential and long-term care centre (CHSLD in Québec) can be difficult. Many people assume the two senior care options are the same thing, but they are very different in several ways. CHSLDs care for people whose decreased independence prevents them from living on their own, requiring heavier care totaling more than three hours a day. There are public and private CHSLDs and the amount the government requires as a contribution is determined by the RAMQ. To apply for long term care, you need to contact your local health and social service centre (CSSS).
Why would I choose retirement living over homecare?
If you or a loved one are considering your aging care options, it’s natural you may be looking at aging at home with homecare services as a possible choice. Those homecare services could be provided by your local health and social services centre (CSSS), but there might be a waiting list before you get access to the services you need. You could also pay for personalized homecare services offered by a private agency, where fees can vary and get expensive. That's why retirement living benefits are worth exploring before making your final decision. Review our comparison chart to see how the advantages of each option stack up against one another.
