Should you require ongoing, around-the-clock care, you may need to consider one
of the following options:
• a specialized residential care facility where you would be cared for full time, or
• if circumstances permit, you could be cared for in your own home, either
through the delivery of professional services or by a family member.
Types and costs of long-term care
Accommodation in long-term care facilities typically range from:
• $900 to over $5,000 per month depending on the room type and the level of
government funding available.
