North York Independent Living Plus Care Services

Independent Living Plus Care in North York offers a flexible housing option for seniors who want to live independently while having access to personal support services as needed. This model is most often found in licensed retirement homes that also offer assisted living.

Residents live in private suites and may choose to add services such as help with bathing, dressing, housekeeping, meals, or medication reminders. These supports are delivered directly in-suite and are arranged privately through the residence.

Rent is covered under Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act. Homes that provide care must comply with the Retirement Homes Act, which is regulated by the RHRA (Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority). Limited public support may be available through Ontario Health atHome.

This care model is typically offered in retirement homes that support multiple levels of care. In North York, examples include:

• Delmanor Wynford
• Delmanor Northtown

These homes allow residents to age in place while increasing support over time. Only sponsored profiles on SeniorCareAccess.com include full contact details, service information, and tour request options. Unbiased listings show a "Claim this residence" button for homes interested in promotion.

Independent Living Plus Care fills the gap between standard independent living and full assisted living. It differs by allowing:

• Flexible, personalized care services added only when needed
• Continued use of a private suite (no need to relocate for care)
• Greater control over support compared to bundled care packages

This model is ideal for seniors who are mostly independent but want the peace of mind of knowing care can be added over time.

Independent Living Plus Care involves two main cost categories:

• Rent: Monthly rent is governed by the Residential Tenancies Act
• Care Services: Added as needed and paid privately—prices vary between residences

It’s important to request a breakdown of what’s included in rent vs. what services cost individually. Some homes also assist with coordinating publicly funded supports through Ontario Health atHome, based on eligibility.
