Blue Water Rest Home is redeveloped; does that mean it costs more than other Long-Term Care (LTC) Homes?

Rates for basic LTC are set by the Ontario Ministry of Long-Term Care, and do not vary across the province. Premium rates for private and semi-private accommodation may vary slightly, depending on how new the Home is.

What is the difference between Birchwoods, Cedarwoods, and Maplewoods Apartments?
