The Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority (RHRA) has an annual approach to collect information directly from Ontario’s licensed retirement homes. This approach, called “Annual Information Return” (AIR), deepens RHRA’s understanding of the sector and supports regulatory activities that protect residents and support them in living with dignity, choice and confidence in licensed retirement homes.
The AIR process coincides with the payment of annual dues by retirement homes (by April 1). AIR allows RHRA to collect information from all retirement homes at the same time, reduces administrative burden on homes, reduces the number of interactions with homes, and informs regulatory activities.
All retirement homes are required to complete the AIR as per requirements in the Retirement Homes Act, 2010 and as per the RHRA Request for Information Policy approved by the Minister for Seniors and Accessibility.
Questions are reviewed and adjusted annually and RHRA will aim to continuously improve the process to minimize administrative burden on homes. A recap and outcomes of AIR 2024 can be found at the bottom of this page.
