An applicant can choose up to 5 long-term care homes. Of note, if you are determined to be in the crisis category there is no limit to the number of waitlists an individual can be on.

  • In general, priority on the long-term care waitlist is provided to those with the highest care needs.
  • An individual’s prioritization on a waitlist may change as a result of the addition of new individuals to a waitlist who have greater care needs and as a result receive a higher prioritization.
  • In addition, an individual’s own care needs may change which results in that individual’s reprioritization on the waitlist.
  • When a bed becomes available in one of your chosen homes, your care coordinator or placement facilitator will contact you.
  • You must make a decision to accept or refuse the bed within 24 hours of receiving the bed offer.
