New 2024 long-term care rates in Ontario – basic, semi-private, and private rooms

The new rates for long-term care are out, and much like everything else these days, prices are going up.

New long-term care rates beginning July 1, 2024

It's typical for long-term care rates to nudge up every year. On July 1, 2024 the monthly rate for a basic room in long-term care is going up $49.58 to $2,036.40. Semi private rooms see a $59.92 bump up to $2,455.24. And private rooms see the biggest increase of $70.87 to $2,909.36.

Long-term care rate reductions

Rate reductions continue to be available to low-income individuals living in a basic room, or partners living together in a two-bed semi-private room that has been redesignated as basic accommodation.

From the Ministry of Long-Term Care

All residents receiving a rate reduction should re-apply for a reduction in the basic co-payment rate for the 2024-25 cycle, beginning on July 1, 2024. Staff at your LTC home will provide you with the application form and will help you to submit your application to the Ministry of Long-Term Care.
