If you live in a health establishment, you can claim the tax credit for certain expenses incurred to obtain home-support services.

A health establishment is an establishment that is part of or affiliated with the health and social services network, which includes:

• hospitals
• public residential and long-term care centres (CHSLDs)
• private, publicly funded CHSLDs
• rehabilitation centres
• buildings or residential facilities where the services of a family-type resource or an intermediate resource are offered
• facilities maintained by a hospital centre or a reception centre for Cree Native persons
• buildings or residential facilities where the services of a foster family are offered for Cree Native persons

A private residential and long-term care centre (CHSLD) that is not under agreement (not publicly funded) is not considered a health establishment. If you live in such an establishment, go to You Live in a Private Seniors' Residence.
