The cost of living in a long term care home in Alberta is based solely on income, not on the value of assets. Nursing homes or supportive living accomodations have a set cost. Through the Alberta Seniors Benefit programme the government provides a subsidy to people based on their income up to a certain amount to help lower income Albertans afford the cost. To find out more about subsidies, go to http://www.seniors.alberta.ca/seniors/seniors-benefit-program.html ...
