Admission to the Homes
The City's homes provide long-term care based on the needs of individual residents, as determined by medical, nursing, functional, and psychosocial assessments. The care provided in each home includes specialized, restorative, supportive, and palliative care for those who cannot live independently in their homes, and whose needs cannot be met in the community.
For further information on the process of admission into long term care you may contact the:

What Do I Pay?
The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) and the City of Thunder Bay provides funding for homes. The amount paid by residents for their accommodation is called the resident "co-payment".
The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care sets accommodation co-payment rates. The table below shows resident co-payment rates effective July 1, 2011. The co-payment rates change from time to time (at a minimum, annually).
Residents pay based on their income up to a maximum amount. The Long Term Care Homes require that a resident provide their prior year’s income tax assessment issued to all tax payers from the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency.
Some long-stay residents in basic accommodation may be eligible for a rate reduction. The Home can provide a rate reduction application form to residents to complete to determine the rate that applies according to your income status.
Optional services (e.g. cable TV or hairdressing), can be purchased at the Home for an additional fee.
