The Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority (RHRA) annually collects information directly from Ontario’s licensed retirement homes through the “Annual Information Return” (AIR). This process enhances RHRA’s understanding of the sector and supports its regulatory activities, ensuring that residents can live with dignity, choice, and confidence in licensed retirement homes.
The AIR process coincides with the payment of annual dues by retirement homes (due by April 1). By collecting information from all homes simultaneously, the AIR reduces administrative burden, minimizes the number of interactions with homes, and informs regulatory actions.
Completion of the AIR is mandatory for all retirement homes, as outlined in the Retirement Homes Act, 2010, and the RHRA Request for Information Policy approved by the Minister for Seniors and Accessibility.
Each year, the questions in the AIR are reviewed and adjusted, with RHRA striving to improve the process and reduce administrative burden. A summary and outcomes of AIR 2025 can be found at the bottom of this page.
