NB : Some services are not eligible for the tax credit for home-support services for seniors, including:
1. All services rendered outside Quebec,
2. Services provided to you by a person (or your spouse) who is claiming the caregiver tax credit on your behalf, and
3. Services that were included in the contribution payable for your housing by the health network, for example, a public CHSLD and some private CHSLDs under agreement (publicly funded).
Please refer to the following link for more information, more particularly the last paragraph:

* Medical Expenses - Attendant Care Services - Special Case
If in the tax year, you used the services of an attendant care and your condition deteriorated and was placed in a long-term care centre (CHSLD), you will not be able to claim the cost of attendant care services in the "Specified medical expenses (not claimed elsewhere)" section on the "Cost of attendant care" line.
The same applies if the person is in a "Long-Term Care Home (CHSLD)" and you have used the services of a care attendant for that person. You have received a separate statement for attendant care expenses.
In this situation, you must enter the cost of the services of a care worker in the "Medical expenses" section by entering "Attendant care services before a transfer to a CHSLD" and entering the amount paid in the right-hand column.
Then, in the section "Specified medical expenses (not claimed elsewhere)", go to the line "Fees for a residential and long-term care centre" and enter the amount you paid to the CHSLD in the right-hand column.
