The 74 page report is primarily intended for use by both public sector organizations as well as private organizations such as insurance companies, health care organizations and financial advisory services. Information from the survey, some of which is also available online, allows professional planners and their clients to more accurately project the current and future costs of elder care in various locations across the country. At a time when government-paid care for the elderly is increasingly limited and rationed, these findings have become highly relevant for baby-boomers, seniors and various organizations dealing with this demographic.
The survey finds that Ottawa is the most expensive major city for Canadians paying for private retirement homes or assisted living care, followed closely by Toronto. Montreal and Winnipeg are the least expensive major city locations for these categories of care. On a provincial basis, median prices are highest in Ontario. On the other hand, privately paid residential care was found to be least expensive in British Columbia and Manitoba.
