Living With Us

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing care for your mother or wife is a big decision. Here are honest answers to the questions families ask us most.

01Is Living With Us more affordable than a retirement home?

For many families, yes. Monthly costs start at approximately $5,000, and that is for dementia care with 24-hour support, not assisted living. Families share the cost of the home and the caregiving, so personal, around-the-clock care stays within reach.

As a not-for-profit initiative, our focus is on care, not profit. Call us and we’ll walk you through exactly what’s included.

02What makes a home shared by four women different?

It’s a real home, not an institution. With just four women in the household, each one has familiar surroundings, the same caregivers, companionship and individual attention. Everyone is known and valued.

03Will she receive 24-hour care and supervision?

Yes. A dedicated Personal Support Worker (PSW) supports the four women in the home, with care and supervision around the clock. Sharing care this way gives her personal attention and keeps costs manageable for each family.

04How will her safety and changing needs be addressed?

In a small home, caregivers get to know each woman’s needs, routines and abilities closely, so changes are noticed early. Individual care plans, fall prevention, infection control and ongoing assessments help keep her safe as her needs change.

05How much say will our family have in decisions?

A real say. Living With Us is a family-directed cooperative. Families take part in decisions about caregivers, daily routines, how the household runs and the care their loved ones receive.

06Will she still enjoy meaningful activities and companionship?

Absolutely. Inspired by the Eden Alternative® philosophy, we believe life should be about more than receiving care. Music, art, cooking, gardening, friendship and everyday household tasks give her purpose, connection and joy.

07How do we get started?

Call us at (905) 237-1419 or email mlliving14@gmail.com. We’re located at 74 Major Mackenzie Dr. West in Richmond Hill. We’ll talk about your loved one’s needs and whether cooperative living is right for her.
