🌿 Lawn maintenance: Grass cutting during the warmer seasons.
🏡 Light housekeeping: Vacuuming, dusting, mopping, and bathroom cleaning.
Eligible seniors may receive up to $1,412 per benefit year toward these services, depending on their circumstances and program approval.

You may be eligible if you:
Are 65 years of age or older.
Meet Alberta's income and residency requirements.
