How much does a short stay in a senior residence cost in Scarborough?

Costs for short stays in Scarborough vary depending on the type of residence and level of care. In retirement homes, daily rates typically range from $100 to $175/day, and can be higher if more care services are required. Pricing is based on accommodation type, services included, and the home's ownership and location. In long-term care homes, a short-stay rate applies (currently under $45/day), and includes accommodation only. Care is covered by the government for eligible short-stay residents.

Are there limits on how long someone can stay short term?

Yes, but the rules vary. In long-term care homes, short stays are generally limited to 60 consecutive days at a time, with a total of 90 days per year allowed. Retirement homes set their own minimum and maximum stay policies, which may range from a few days to several weeks or more. It's best to speak with each home directly to confirm what they offer for short stays.

Can I use the Senior Housing Cost Calculator to compare short stay costs?

Yes. If you know the short stay rate at your chosen residence, you can compare that cost with your typical monthly expenses using our Senior Housing Cost Calculator. This helps determine if a short stay is a financially practical option in Scarborough.
