Seniors Care Grant 2022
- Published: July 28, 2022
The government is taking action to help older Nova Scotians with increasing energy prices and other rising costs so that more seniors are able to live well at home.
Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Barbara Adams announced on July 28, 2022, that the Seniors Care Grant will be expanded to include more services and provide a one-time $250 emergency heating grant to eligible seniors.
This means that seniors applying for the Seniors Care Grant will be eligible for up to a maximum of $750 this fiscal year. Applications will open on September 1.
The heating grant will be available to all eligible Nova Scotians 65 and older, including people who have already received the Seniors Care Grant and the Heating Assistance Rebate Program in the past year.
The grant is available for the cost of oil, wood, electricity and other energy sources. The Seniors Care Grant has also expanded the eligible list of services covered to help seniors stay in their homes longer. This includes the cost of telephone or Internet services, eye exams, dental work, mental health supports, physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage and foot care.
