The NDP says Scott Moe and the Sask. Party have made life even more expensive for seniors by raising their fees for home care. The party says making home care less accessible was a bad idea when they did it before, but during a pandemic, when seniors and families need support more than ever, it’s downright dangerous.
As of October 1st, the Saskatchewan Health Authority increased the costs for home care services across the province. Many seniors on fixed incomes will now pay an additional $300 a year.
New Democrats say they are committed to making life more affordable for seniors, and to ensuring that Saskatchewan seniors receive the best home care in Canada. The party says their promised investment of $50 million will help seniors by hiring 700 additional home care staff to provide medical, cleaning, cooking and repair assistance.
