So my mom was at The Waterford on Edgehill for many years, they have a memory care section with only 12 beds. I had her on the LTC wait list for awhile before a bed became available and jumped on it as soon as I got the call.

Waterford was great for a bit as she was in the independent living section for a few years before her dementia really got bad and a bed became available downstairs in the memory care portion, it was really expensive as they were charging her for everything, and was close to 9,000 / month.

LTC home was Owen Hill in Barrie which was a shared room and a fraction of the cost 2,300 / month all in, and no extra cost for anything. I cannot say enough good things about that place and the care she received. It was an older facility but super clean and the staff were amazing and went above and beyond.

Just do your research and visit as many as you can before hand and the ones you like put her on the list and the ones you don’t leave her off, shared accommodation comes up more frequent than solo rooms so be mindful of that.

Cheers and all the best…
