Through Canada’s Recovery Plan, a Conservative government will act to give seniors the care and support they deserve.

To support our seniors, a Conservative government will:

1. Introduce an all-new Canada Seniors Care Benefit, which will pay $200 per month per household to any Canadian who is living with and taking care of a parent over the age of 70.

2. Amend the Home Accessibility Tax Credit by increasing the limit from $10,000 per dwelling to $10,000 per person.

3. Allow seniors or their caregivers, including their children, to claim the Medical Expense Tax Credit for home care instead of only allowing them to claim attendant care if they live in a group home.

4.Invest $3 billion over the next three years to renovate long-term care homes and improve the care that residents receive.

5. Boost the number of personal support workers in long-term care and home care by providing priority and promoting these careers through immigration programs.

6. Double the Canada Workers Benefit and paying it out quarterly. This change will provide a $1 per hour raise for low-income seniors, including many who choose to work part-time to supplement their retirement income.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed cracks in Canada’s long-term care systems and shown how deadly the current overcrowding and staffing shortages in long-term care homes can be.

Only Canada’s Conservatives have a plan to help seniors stay in their own homes and improve the quality of long-term care across the country.

Canada’s Recovery Plan will secure the future for Canada’s seniors and ensure they can enjoy their golden years with dignity and respect.
