RHRA’s Fee Reduction Program is Live  

Program aims to help alleviate financial strain on homes in need 

As previously promised, RHRA has launched its Fee Reduction Program. Application forms are now available.

RHRA understands the challenges homes have faced as a result of the pandemic and other circumstances that have caused financial difficulties for some licensees.

This program is designed to help support licensees to continue to provide care and safety for residents.

Any licensed retirement home may apply for a fee reduction of 20% for 2023. Homes must submit the application form to RHRA along with all required documentation by January 31, 2023, to be eligible for the program.

Applicants will be informed of a decision in April 2023.

Please review the criteria and instructions on pages one and two of the application form carefully to confirm your eligibility for a fee reduction.

If you have any questions when completing the form, please contact Jason Ramnanan, RHRA Complaints and Client Services Associate at Jason.Ramnanan@rhra.ca or 416-440-3592.
