Attendant care is care given by an attendant who does personal tasks which a person cannot do for themselves. This includes care in certain types of facilities.

You can claim amounts paid to an attendant only if the attendant:

• was not your spouse or common-law partner
• was 18 years of age or older when the amounts were paid

You can claim as medical expenses the amounts you or your spouse or common-law partner paid for attendant care or care in a facility. The expenses must have been paid for the care of:

• yourself
• your spouse or common-law partner
• your dependant

You can claim the fees for salaries and wages paid for part-time attendant care.

Also, you can claim the fees for salaries and wages paid for attendant care services or care or supervision for the following facilities:

• self-contained domestic establishments (such as your private home)

You can claim as eligible medical expenses the salaries and wages paid to all employees performing the following duties or services:

• food preparation
• housekeeping services for a resident's personal living space
• laundry services for a resident's personal items

If you are receiving attendant care services in your home, you can only claim for the period when you are at home and need care or help. For the expense to be eligible as a medical expense, you must either:

• be eligible for the disability tax credit
• have a written certification from a medical practitioner that states the services are necessary
