(From the webinar) Private market models allow market conditions to dictate the desired level of investment but create unaffordable condition as there is a severe shortage in supply. Regulated or public models like long-term care control affordability but require government funding and are usually controlled by government. This means meeting design standards which may increase operator costs further, which in turn demands more government funding, but it also leads to more affordable housing products.

Thank you Sienna Senior Living, it is a pleasure working on your important projects to increase the number of Long Term Care beds in Ontario!

Seniors Housing options offer different income models (lump sum, rental, care services packages) and different levels of care. Read more 👉 https://lttr.ai/AQZbj

(From the webinar) The current MLTC design and funding paradigm makes it difficult for operators to consider small households, the MLTC allows for 32 beds. The CSA recommends no more than 12 beds per household. We did a design exercise with an operator in Alberta to design a home and we found out that the Alberta equivalent of the Long Term Care Home Design Manual only allows up to 14 units. That is, Alberta decided to go with the small household model. As a result, what we found out is that the floor area per bed turns out to be 30% more than in Ontario, so it needs 30% more money to build. It also needs 30% more space (land).

The first mistake some Developers make that delays Site Plan Agreements is to delay the SPA submission. Developers sometimes think that following the Pre-Application Meeting (or whatever a particular municipality calls it), they know everything they need for a successful submission. You, the developer, may think - it is better to get everything ready and get it over in one submission. This is rarely the case. Read more 👉 https://lttr.ai/ASGI2

(From the webinar) The first case study is from Copenhagen, Denmark. The project is called Future Sølund Urban Nursing Home and it features intergenerational mixing and mixed-use, and by that I mean retail. Housing and institutional uses are located on the same site as well as access to green space. These renderings are from a winning entry to an architecture competition. The building is currently under construction. It's scheduled to complete in 2026. It includes nursing home units, homes for young people, homes for special needs, daycare centre, shops, cafes and workshops. So in this equivalent of a long term care project, you have shops and cafes that invite the general public to enter the senior housing, to enter the nursing home and participate in the lives of the people living there. The pathogenic approach limits the interaction between residents and the outside world to reduce the risk of harm. The salutogenic approach promotes community and intergenerational mixing, sense of manageability, access to family and friends. Watch the full presentation 👉 https://lttr.ai/ASkCJ
