Fudger House

The short-stay admission program supports families seeking respite from the caregiver role for up to 60 continuous days, to a maximum of 90 days per year. Short-stay residents have access to the same services as long-stay residents, including 24-hour nursing, meals, laundry, and recreation programs.

Placement is arranged through Ontario Health atHome, whose care coordinators assess the needs of adults who require long-term care. Rates are set by the Ontario Ministry of Long-Term Care, and subsidies for basic rates may be available to eligible applicants.

The home is recognized for its behavioural support programs for dementia, delirium, and mental health, delivered by an inter-professional team of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, and social workers. It also operates a secure dementia unit and a unit for Chinese residents, and is known for an affirmed 2SLGBTQI+ positive environment.
