Question 2

How much does an apartment for seniors cost on average?

Accepted Answer

According to the survey on seniors' residences carried out by CMHC last June, the costs vary greatly depending on the services offered, your region and the level of care required.
On average in Quebec, the cost of standard rent is $1844.00/month.
When you start your search with Oscar, you can determine the maximum monthly price you want to allocate to the rental of your future apartment.
I will then guide you through a selection of targeted apartments based on your needs and budget.

Question 3

Am I eligible for the tax credit for home support for seniors?

Accepted Answer

If you are 70 or over at any time during the year and you reside in Québec at the end of the year, you are entitled to the tax credit for home-support services for seniors. The tax credit is equal to 35% of eligible expenses paid in the year (by you or your spouse) for home-support services. However, if your annual family income is higher than $60,135, the tax credit is reduced by 3% of the amount exceeding $60,135. This reduction does not apply if you are a non-autonomous person or if you apply for the credit for your couple and your spouse or yourself are recognized as a non-autonomous person. To help you see more clearly at the level of the rental of an apartment, I offer each accommodation with the price before and after the monthly tax credit. This will allow you to easily see the potential savings and better adapt your budget according to this credit.
