Funding support
Navigating funding is often the hardest part of getting care started. We help you work out which programs may apply, then prepare the paperwork, submit it, and follow up — so you don't have to navigate it alone.
Each program sets its own rules and makes its own decision — we can't guarantee approval, but we'll make sure your application is complete and followed up.
These can fund home care, disability support, or respite directly — the ones we most often help families apply for.
You can apply from age 16, so services are ready at 18.
Call Health Link at 811 to be connected to your local home care office for an assessment.
Costs from before age 65 are not covered.
Monthly benefits that can help cover the cost of care and daily living.
One application covers both — the province decides which program fits. You must apply for other income you may qualify for, such as CPP Disability, first.
File your taxes every year to keep receiving them.
Help with mobility aids, medical supplies, and one-off costs.
Don’t buy first — AADL doesn’t pay back purchases made before approval.
Applications open twice a year, in February–March and September–October.
Publicly funded services rather than money — worth knowing about alongside your care plan.
Call Health Link at 811 to find stroke services near you.
