Long-Term Care

Eligible war service Veterans and certain civilians may qualify for intermediate care or chronic care at the Department's contract facilities, or at more than 1,900 community facilities across the country, some of which have contractual arrangements with our Department.

Additionally, they may qualify for long-term care at Ste. Anne's Hospital (back), the only hospital owned and administered by the Department. CF pensioners may qualify to receive intermediate or chronic care in a community facility if the need for this care is related to a pensioned condition. Allied Veterans who have lived in Canada for 10 or more years after their period of service may be eligible for long-term care in community facilities.
