Improving the health and well-being of seniors continues to be the focus of the Saskatchewan government.
Saskatchewan’s provincial budget introduced last month provides a $39 million increase for initiatives to help seniors age within their communities and provide the supports they need.
Enhanced benefits for seniors include increasing the Personal Care Home Benefit through the Ministry of Social Services by up to $400 per month, for a new maximum of up to $2,400 per month, the Seniors Income Plan, also through the Ministry of Social Services, will increase by $30 per month, fulfilling the Government of Saskatchewan’s commitment to increasing the Seniors Income Plan over three years to the new maximum of up to $360 per month.
