Not that I know of, and I do have a mother in long term care in Delta, B.C. I would love the govt. to fund me to live closer then the approximately 2hrs transit to her care home. (only 1.5hrs if I drive, hardly worth it) but that shit don't go down. As it is, they take 80% of her income, which is both her old age pension and the RRSP she started ages ago. They also don't provide anything beyond 3 square meals a day and the cheapest washing soap available. Everything else, they expect family to provide. It's like prison, but without the commisary where inmates can buy their own shit. They are dependant on family to provide it. In this case, that means me. (plus one of my 2 uncles, her brother, who kicks in. My father can't be bothered.)
