Thankyou for your response/clarification on rent Geo123. I would like to clarify my original query: Can a resident of a private long-term care home who has substantial medical expenses claim the Ontario Seniors Care at Home Tax Credit? UFILE software allows it, (see example in attachment) but I thought the intent of the legislation was to keep seniors in their 'homes'? (the eligibility requirements listed in the Ontario.ca website do not include a definition of "at home" or where a senior can reside).
Eligibility
Who is eligible
You are eligible to claim the credit if you:
turned 70 years of age or older in the year, or have a spouse or common‐law partner who turned 70 years of age or older in the year; and
are resident in Ontario at the end of the tax year.
