snowball10 Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 My mom also moved to a retirement home in 2023. In the letter from the home, it breaks down various care services fees and wages that qualify as eligible attendant care expenses. However, she does not qualify for the disability tax credit (ie. no T2201). Can she still claim them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
