Involuntary separation is a government initiative that allows senior couples living apart for reasons beyond their control to access a number of financial benefits.
It may apply to care provided to a person aged 18 or over who has a severe and prolonged impairment in mental or physical functions, or to care provided to a person aged 70 or over who lives with the caregiver.
Respite services are designed to free you from the responsibilities associated with your role as a caregiver. Here’s how to access them.
This direct benefit program gives eligible people easier access to home support services. Find out more about the various stages in the service employment paycheque program.
