Residential care facilities provide accommodation, meals and care and supervision based on the persons needs. Facilities that provide care and supervision to three or more persons must have a license, whether they receive funding (subsidized) from a health authority or another agency, or whether a person pays privately.
There are a wide variety of settings where residential care is provided such as small home-like facilities for persons with physical or developmental disabilities, to large-scale facilities primarily for frail elderly seniors (referred to as Long Term Care).
Licensed residential care types include:
- Acquired Injury
- Child and Youth Residential
- Community Living
- Hospice Care
- Long Term Care
- Mental Health
- Substance Use
