Typical costs are illustrative Canadian ranges; long-term care is income-tested and home care is billed hourly. Halifax range reflects providers that publish a starting rate. Request quotes for exact pricing.
Government pensions form the floor: the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, and the income-tested Guaranteed Income Supplement. Nova Scotia seniors benefits and Veterans Affairs Canada may offset part of the cost.
In Nova Scotia, long-term care and residential care are licensed and partly funded by the Department of Seniors and Long-Term Care, with income-tested charges.
