Attendant care expenses


Recommended Posts

  • 1 month later...

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?

Hello snowball10,

Please contact the CRA
1-800-959-8281 for inquiries related to individuals.

FYI - CRA cost of attendant care
    *Attendant care and care in a facility
   * Who can claim these expenses
    *Amounts you can claim as medical expenses
    *Special rules when claiming the disability amount
    *Documents you need to support your attendant care expenses
Generally, you cannot claim the entire amount you paid for a retirement home or a home for seniors. However, you can claim salaries and wages for care in such facilities if the care recipient qualifies for the disability tax credit (go to Salaries and wages).
