&lt;p style="line-height: 1.25;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Basic Accommodation Rates&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On July 1, 2026, the maximum co-payment that residents pay for basic accommodation in Long-Term Care (LTC) homes will increase by $1.44 per day from $68.56 per day to $70.00 per day, consistent with recent inflationary increases. This will help cover the rising costs of meals and accommodation. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Preferred Accommodation Rates &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The maximum charges will also be increasing for residents in preferred accommodation beds as of July 1, 2026. The premium charged for a newer bed in semi-private accommodation will increase by $0.30 from $14.10 to $14.40 per day, and the premium for a newer bed in private accommodation will increase by $0.62 from $29.39 to $30.01 per day. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
