Topic: Applying for ODSP for Sponsored Mum

Dorothy

I have sponsored my mum 5 years ago who is now a Canadian citizen.

Unfortunately she had a stroke and fortunately she was admitted into a Long term care facility this year.

I am unable to afford $1800 a month for the long term care charges and was wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions regarding applying for ODSP.

I know the onus is on me to bare the cost but am unable to do so. If she qualifies for ODSP can someone tell me how will I pay back the Government and how much of interest is charged.

Will I be able to pay back in installments over a period of time?

Would appreciate if someone could write to me with suggestions.

Thank you.
