NDP requests raise to Personal Care Home Benefit for struggling Saskatchewan seniors
“The cost of operating personal care homes is going up with the price of everything and without targeted relief like what’s happening in Alberta;, the Sask. Party government is forcing care home operators to pass the costs onto our seniors,” said seniors critic Matt Love.
The Saskatchewan Personal Care Home Benefit was created in 2012 and set at $1, 800 and increased to $2, 000 in 2015. Love said that this $2, 000 cannot cover the monthly cost of most personal care homes in Saskatchewan.
