Ontario announced nearly $13 million on October 8 to expand dementia supports to 13 more long-term-care homes and fund up to 153 behavioural specialized beds across five homes.
Ask your Ontario Health atHome care coordinator: Could specialized dementia care suit my family member? What assessment is needed, which local options are available, and what are the waitlists and accommodation costs?
Placement depends on assessed needs and availability. The announcement does not guarantee an immediate bed or free accommodation.
