Sylvie St-Amour Residence Advisor Outaouais & Ontario<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n

As a residence advisor who is specialized in RPA \u2013 R\u00e9sidences priv\u00e9es pour personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es (private residences for seniors) in Outaouais, Sylvie St-Amour<\/strong><\/a> assists Ontario families who want to move their parents to the other side of the Outaouais River, in Gatineau, Qu\u00e9bec (Hull, Aylmer and Petite-Nation) because it\u2019s more affordable. The rent in a private residence with care services in Qu\u00e9bec is cheaper in than in Ontario. The Qu\u00e9bec government\u2019s tax credit is a better option for seniors too.<\/p>\n

Why is the cost of a private residence in Qu\u00e9bec cheaper than one in Ontario right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Ontario tax credit for home-support services for seniors is offered only at tax time, once a year. Comparatively, in Qu\u00e9bec, the tax credit is automatically deposited into an eligible person\u2019s bank account once a month.<\/li>\n
  2. Residences in Qu\u00e9bec post rental prices that are $1,000 to $2,000\/month cheaper than in Ontario for accommodations with similar services.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We\u2019re here to walk you through the process<\/strong>
    \nRegister with RAMQ<\/strong>
    \nOne of the only issues that you could encounter is registering the person who wants to live in a residence in Qu\u00e9bec with the RAMQ (R\u00e9gie de l\u2019assurance maladie du Qu\u00e9bec) and then applying for the tax credit for home-support services for seniors.
    \n3-month wait period<\/strong>
    \nYou will have to wait approximately 3 months before receiving the money from the credit, which will then be deposited automatically in your bank account, retroactive to the date it took effect. You will then get the money every month. This is great for families that need permanent housing for their parents and that have a limited budget. They can still access housing in a private residence.<\/p>\n

    The tax credit means private residences are more accessible to everyone<\/strong>
    \nFor many families that are waiting for a spot in a public residence, the tax credit gives them access housing in a private residence for just a few dollars more.<\/p>\n

    The upside of private residences<\/strong>
    \nPrivate residences offer activities, but public residences simply can\u2019t offer that service, which gives private residences more appeal.
