Domiciliary Program

If you are a permanent resident of the City of Cornwall who needs support with daily living due to age, disability, mental health concerns, or substance use, you may qualify for financial assistance through the Domiciliary Program. This program helps supplement your income to cover the cost of care in a domiciliary residence.

Who is Eligible

• Have a physical or developmental disability

• Have a diagnosed mental health condition

• Are not eligible for long-term care

To receive a subsidy:

• Income: Your monthly income must be less than the cost of care at the chosen residence

Cost of care refers to the monthly amount charged by the domiciliary residence for accommodation, meals and support services.
