Frequently Asked Questions By Seniors



Q.  I can still cook and clean. Why should I move into Pleasantview Manor?

A.  Pleasantview Manor provides the care needed for seniors to live safer, happier & healthier lives. It also gives them the opportunity to enjoy their retirement, rather than spending it on cooking and cleaning. Socializing with other seniors and daily activities will keep you busy and enjoy life!


Q.  What do I have to do if I wish to move into this home?

A.  An approval by the Regional health authority is required before any person may move into a personal care home. The first step would be to contact the manager of Pleasantview Manor to have your name added to our  waiting list, as spots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Then you will need to contact the Central Intake line at 1 833 210 8491 to request an assessment.

                                                    

Q.  Will I lose my independence?

A.  No. In fact we encourage independence. You can be as dependent or independent as you wish. Pleasantview Manor offers stress free living.

                                                             

Q.  What happens to my money if I decide to go into Pleasantview Manor?

A.  Your money remains your money and you just pay the monthly rate for the room which you have chosen. If you cannot afford the monthly rate, then a financial assessment is to be completed to see if you would qualify for a subsidy. A Government subsidy is based on your Notice of assessment (NOA)

and has nothing to do with the savings or property that you may hold.   

                                                           

Q.  What is a subsidy? And who qualifies?

A.  A subsidy is an amount that the government pays to top up the amount that the senior cannot afford to pay the home for room and care. If you require financial assistance, a financial assessment would be completed by  the local Regional Health Authority to determine eligibility and coverage.

                                                                    

Q.  Do I have to sell my home or vehicle if I need a subsidy?

A.  No you do not. All of this information will be collected in your financial assessment.

                                                                  

Q.  What happens if I get sick and I need more care than what they offer?

A.  If you get sick or need more care than what we normally provide, a reassessment is done and you are give the choice of which nursing home you would like to be transferred to. While waiting for the nursing home of your choice, you can remain living in Pleasantview Manor and we will provide the extra care needed until placement.
