Ontario encourages interested applicants to seek advice from industry experts to establish a cost estimate. You should fully explain any cost estimates in the application, which could range from a preliminary cost estimate based on comparable projects to a fully costed plan.
Each long-term care home development project that is approved for further review must undergo the Ministry of Long-Term Care’s capital and licensing approval process.
The capital approval process includes a review of an applicant’s ability to develop and operate the proposed long-term care home in accordance with ministry policy and legislative requirements.
In addition to receiving funding approval and executing a funding contract, an applicant must receive ministry approval for key milestones including, but not limited to, their design plans to start construction and to occupy the space as a long-term care home.
