Worldwide Opportunities in Regulation and Consumer Protection

About Us

Established in 2011, the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority is an independent, self-funded, not-for-profit regulator mandated by the government to protect and ensure the safety and well-being of seniors living in Ontario’s retirement homes under the Retirement Homes Act, 2010.

We put residents first by ensuring retirement homes follow the rules and by sharing unbiased, transparent safety information with seniors and their loved ones. We do this by:

- Inspecting homes to ensure they comply with the Retirement Homes Act, 2010

- Taking action when they do not

- Addressing reports of harm or risk of harm to residents

- Responding to resident and family complaints
