Frequently Asked Questions
LMH provides a full continuum of care including Long-Term Care (LTC), Assisted Living/Retirement Living, and Independent Living through apartment rental options and condominium and townhouse life lease. This allows residents to remain within our campus community as their needs change.
Yes. LMH was founded in 1965 by supporting Mennonite churches and continues to operate with Christian values at its foundation. While faith-based, we warmly welcome residents of all backgrounds and beliefs. LMH is a public non-profit organization and registered charity.
The LMH team can help assess care needs and guide families through the options available on campus. The level of independence, medical support, and daily assistance required will determine the most appropriate setting.
Applications for Long-Term Care are coordinated through Ontario Health (Home and Community Care Support Services). Families can call 1-888-447-4468 to begin the application process.
LTC includes 24-hour nursing care, assistance with daily living, meals, housekeeping, recreational programming, and access to medical and allied health professionals.
Assisted Living/Retirement Living is designed for individuals who are mostly independent but may benefit from meals, support services (medical and personal care), and community living. Long-Term Care is for individuals who require 24-hour nursing care and daily assistance.
One of the benefits of LMH’s campus model is the ability to transition to a higher level of care within our community, depending on availability and eligibility.
Life leases are specific to Independent Living in the Heritage Townhouses and the Gardens Condominiums. Life lease allows individuals to purchase the right to occupy a unit within a supportive senior community. It provides independence while being connected to campus services and amenities. Life lease is not traditional ownership. Residents purchase a lease interest in the unit and benefit from community living without full property ownership responsibilities.
Wait times can range from weeks, months, or longer depending on the type of accommodation you’re waiting for. The status of your name on our wait list can vary depending on the urgency of your need. Our Home is supported by 8 local Mennonite churches in our community, and members of those supporting churches are given priority on our waitlist by OHAH as we have a specific cultural designation with the Ministry of Long Term Care. We do not have information on your wait list position, please reach out to your coordinator at OHAH directly.
