Even though seniors can agree to admission, they still need to meet all program criteria. In addition to presenting all the basic documents, the representative making the application for the elderly person must present a medical report that proves that the person is mentally unable to express consent.

Indeed, participation in the Admission of Older Persons to Residential Facilities is not free for most beneficiaries of this program. However, the monthly fees paid by each elderly person may vary according to the institution where they were hosted. Typically, fees are deducted from the federal subsidy that seniors receive. For more specific information about costs and fees, you should contact the social development office.
