24-hour service housing means that you live in a room in a senior centre or a service home. Your housing covers the care and treatment you need, activities that support your functional capacity, services related to meals, laundry and clothes care, washing and cleaning, as well as services that promote participation and social interaction. You will pay rent for your apartment and a monthly fee based on your net income for the services included in the 24-hour care.
