London Respite Care

What does respite care cost in London?

If you're wondering how much respite care costs in London, the answer depends on where it’s provided. In most retirement homes, respite stays are billed at a daily rate, typically ranging from $100 to $175 per day. Pricing depends on the suite size, services included, and level of care required. These short-term senior care stays usually include meals, housekeeping, and basic support — though higher care needs may result in additional fees. Each residence sets its own prices and policies, including the minimum or maximum number of days allowed for a respite stay.

Is respite care in long-term care homes also charged daily?

Yes. In Ontario, respite care in long-term care homes is available at a government-set daily rate, currently just under $45/day. This covers room and board, while medical and personal care services are publicly funded. You can book a stay for up to 60 consecutive days at one time, and up to 90 days total per calendar year. Eligibility and access are coordinated through Health atHome.

For the latest rates, visit the Ontario Ministry of Health website.

Can I use the calculator to compare respite care costs to living at home?

Yes. If you want to compare the cost of a short-term stay in a retirement home with your current living expenses, our Senior Housing Cost Calculator can help. It's a practical tool for caregivers and families weighing temporary care options, especially if you're considering a trial stay before making a long-term decision.
