More and more seniors want to stay at home as long as possible. Aging in a familiar environment brings comfort, safety, and a better quality of life.
To support this independence, the Quebec government offers the Home Support Tax Credit for seniors, a concrete financial aid to help reduce the cost of home care services.
Good news: in 2026, the credit can cover up to 40% of eligible expenses.
