I didn’t know any of this stuff until I started dealing with it recently, but there are two kinds of seniors facilities:
Private assisted living facilities are for people who can’t or don’t want to bother looking after their own home anymore. They might need some health supervision, (medication, mild dementia) but nothing serious. These can be quite nice - they put real resources into furnishings, amenities, meals, and programming (bistros, movie rooms with theatre seating, etc) and cost around 3.5k to 5.5k.
Long-term care facilities are for people requiring constant supervision and medical care (strokes, severe dementia, etc). The facility might be privately operated, but the care is managed and mostly subsidized by the provincial government as a function of public health care. Staff do their best, but as might be expected these facilities are pretty grim. They cost around 2k, and low-income seniors may be eligible for subsidies that further reduce the cost.
