Choosing the right nursing home for your parents is a crucial decision as they may have ongoing physical or mental conditions that require constant supervision. Also, they need to feel comfortable and safe in the nursing home. That’s why we have reviewed all the nursing homes in Toronto, using the most comprehensive retirement home search tool Retire Simple, and created a comprehensive list of the best nursing homes in town. Our list is based on their years of experience, doctors’ reputations, customer reviews, etc.
FAQ:
A nursing home (also known as a skilled nursing facility or a long-term care facility) provides extensive health care services for elderly people who may have ongoing physical or mental conditions. They provide both personal care (feeding, bathing, and getting dressed) and medical care. Registered nurses will regularly monitor the residents of the nursing homes, they will also have licensed medical professionals available 24 hours a day. Most large nursing homes also have full-time physical therapists for their residents. Ontario has more than 600 long-term care facilities, some of them are publicly owned and the majority of them are privately owned.
In Toronto, all nursing homes for elderly people are funded by the provincial government. However, you will have to pay for the accommodation fees of the nursing home. The cost of the nursing home may also vary depending on your specific medical needs. For a semi-private room, the cost is around $1,900 per month and for a private room, the cost is around $2,300 per month. The government of Canada also provides subsidies for elderly people who are unable to pay the accommodation fees of the nursing home.
Nursing is a rewarding career. According to Payscale.com, the average salary of a nursing home caregiver in Canada is around $33,000 per year. The salary for an entry level position (less than 1 year of experience) is around $15 per hour. On the other hand, the salary of an experienced nursing home caregiver with more than ten years of experience can be as high as $20 per hour (including bonus and overtime pay).
Nursing homes provide both personal care (feeding, bathing, and getting dressed) and medical care. A licensed trained medical professional and qualified nurses are always present at the nursing homes. On the other hand, assisted living facilities mainly focus on the personal care of the residents, they provide a residential environment so that the residents feel comfortable and safe in the facility. An assisted living facility can be considered as a permanent residence for elderly people.

They recently moved a senior friend in to Hazelton Place. Leslie and Chula, along with the rest of the staff are exceptional.

Perfect retirement home and nursing home well maintained
Bettie Martindale
My mother lived there and I volunteered there. Not only is it the "seniors home of choice", it has received the ultimate official confirmation of being the best possible by official inspections resulting in it being accredited "in exemplary standing". Anyone who retires there or who is a long-term patient there or who works or volunteers or visits there should consider themselves truly blessed.

There's no place like home sweet home. I consider myself fortunate to have lived in the Self Care unit for the past 12 years, I'm looking forward to the next 12 years. 😃😃.

I moved my Mother to Copernicus Lodge as she could no longer manage in a three level home. There is no question her quality of life improved as she made friends; attended concerts; went on outings and had a hair salon on the premises. My Mother passed six weeks before her 102nd birthday in 2015. I will forever be grateful to all the staff for their kindness.

Nursing homes provide valuable personal and medical care services to elderly citizens. Licensed medical professionals and qualified nurses are always present to supervise the residents at the nursing homes. Nursing homes provide many services including physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, dementia care, and convalescent care. They also provide a variety of activities for their residents. Most large nursing homes also provide rehabilitative care after critical surgeries or accidents.
Toronto is one of the most expensive cities to live in, the cost of nursing homes is also remarkably high in Toronto. Moreover, selecting a nursing home for your loved ones is not an easy task. You should select the right nursing home according to the type of care they need. You should do adequate research online before choosing a reputable one. You should review their websites and read the customer reviews to check their overall performance. One of the easiest ways to find a good nursing home is via referrals. You should ask friends, colleagues, family members, or family physicians who have already dealt with the nursing home before. When selecting a nursing home, accommodation fees are a critical factor to consider. You also need to consider the location as it will be easier for family members to visit if it is conveniently located within a short distance from home.
A special thank you to Retire Simple, the best seniors retirement home directory which we used to compile information. It is a trusted resource for information about retirement homes across the country.
