OBA Elder Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: June 9, 2021

Retirement homes are often grouped with or confused with Long-Term Care Homes, but are fundamentally different in significant ways. At their core, Retirement Homes are a tenancy and retain the rights and obligations associated therewith in addition to further obligations under the Retirement Homes Act, 2010. Join us to unravel the legal complexities of these unique entities, as we explore:

• Contracts between retirement homes and residents – requirements, challenges and pitfalls
• Residents’ rights, including the right to receive visitors and COVID implications
• Key issues in evictions, revoking services and closure of homes
