Helping Seniors and People with Disabilities Live at Home

Helping Seniors and People with Disabilities Live at Home

Seniors and people with disabilities want to live independently, in the homes they built, in the communities that support them, for as long as possible. But accessibility challenges at home can force seniors to move out of their homes prematurely.

Sometimes small changes like installing a handrail or widening a doorframe can make a huge difference.

A re-elected government will:

  • Double the Home Accessibility Tax Credit, to $20,000, putting up to $1,500 back in the pockets of Canadians who need it.
  • Establish an expert panel to provide recommendations for establishing an Aging at Home Benefit.
