Special Care Home Resident Charges

In Saskatchewan, the Ministry of Health continues to subsidize approximately 80% of the overall cost of long-term care.  The remainder of funding comes from the long-term care resident and is an income-tested charge.  Below is an example of the “out of pocket” cost for a resident in a long-term care facility in Saskatchewan.

Monthly Income Monthly Resident Charge
$ 1,169 $ 962 (minimum)
$ 1,300 $ 1,027
$ 1,700 $ 1,227
$ 2,200 $ 1,477
$ 2,899 $ 1,827 (maximum)
