Nova Scotia - SENIORS CARE GRANT 2021-2022

The Seniors Care Grant helps eligible Nova Scotians aged 65 and over with the cost of services and chores they need done around their homes. 

The deadline for applications is on May 31, 2022. Funds can be used through November 30, 2022. 

With the deadline approaching, I’m hoping you will help us spread the word by forwarding this, as well as the attached application form to your members, networks, and/or people in your community.

The grant provides up to $500 for eligible seniors to help with expenses such as lawn care, small household repairs, delivery of groceries and medications, and other needs.

To qualify, older Nova Scotians must live independently and have a combined annual net household income of $37,500 or less. For clarification, proof of home ownership/leasing is not required, a copy of a utility bill in the senior’s name is sufficient.

Applications can be submitted online at novascotia.ca/seniors-care-grant, by mail or by fax. Application form link:  seniors-care-grant-application-form-en.pdf (novascotia.ca)

Attached you will find a fact sheet on the Seniors Care Grant as well as the application form. Anyone who has questions or needs more information can call 1-800-670-4357

We want to make sure older Nova Scotians are aware of the program, and those who are eligible apply for the grant. Thank you for your help!
