Communal housing

Communal living means residing in a senior centre in an accessible rental apartment, which includes a room, toilet, washroom, and kitchen area.

In communal housing, you pay separately for housing and the services you need. You will work with staff to create a care and service plan tailored to your needs. Services may include, for example, meal provision, care-related services, and medication management.

As a communal housing resident, you can also take part in the senior centre's community activities, such as physical exercise and cultural events. You are welcome to furnish your rental apartment with your own furniture and textiles.

Communal housing may be suitable if home care support is no longer sufficient for you to live safely at home. If you think communal housing could be a good fit, apply for a service needs assessment by contacting Senior Info.
