The Ministry of Long-Term Care announced yesterday that there were will be a further deferral of the resident co-payment amounts for accommodation charges. The ministry has confirmed that they are extending the freeze on the annual rate increase to the long-term care resident co-payment scheduled for July 1, 2021, until January 1, 2022.
Please note: Residents who are currently on the LTC Rate Reduction Program will not be impacted by this deferral, as their reduced rate is based on what they can afford. Residents will be required to reapply when the current Rate Reduction cycle expires on June 30, 2021.
