This is the information I was able to locate regarding per diem costs
for nursing homes:
Ontario: $62.60
“The Ministry provides per diem funding for each resident at each
nursing home, municipal and charitable home for the aged. The per
diem rate is identical across the three types of facilities.
The per diem is divided into what we call three "envelopes”: One is
Nursing and Personal Care; the second is Programming and Support
Services; and the third is Accommodation.
Currently, the average per diem rate per resident is $102.62. The
government portion of the per diem is on average $62.60 and the
resident contributes on average $40 towards the per diem. The fee
structure for residents of long term care facilities is regulated by
the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and is the same throughout
the province.”

Additional information that may interest you:
How Nursing Home Daily Rates Are Set:
The Department of Health licenses nursing homes.
“In every province, the real costs of providing long-term care in a
facility are approximately the same —$140 a day. Citizens of provinces
west of New Brunswick pay less for their long-term care than people in
Atlantic Canada, not because the cost of care is less in other
provinces, but because their governments are in a financial position
to pay more.”
