Annual Information Return 2026 Summary of Findings Now Available
November 12, 2026
RHRA has published its Annual Information Return (AIR) 2026 Summary of Findings, offering a snapshot of Ontario’s retirement home sector based on information submitted by licensed retirement homes across the province earlier this year.
The AIR 2026 findings cover resident care needs, dementia prevalence, nursing availability, care provider staffing and partnerships supporting residents. Key findings include:
- Most AIR responses shifted less than 5 per cent compared with the previous reporting year.
- Approximately 31% of residents were reported as having a diagnosis, or signs and symptoms, of dementia.
- Approximately 40% of residents were reported as receiving minimal care services.
RHRA thanks the licensees and operators who participated in AIR 2026 and contributed to these findings. Licensees and operators who had a Self-Service Portal account while completing AIR could also save draft responses to return to later, view their Extra Expense Insurance policy currently on file and view their annual invoice.
