Most visits are at least 2 hours so care is not rushed. Overnight and live-in care are quoted as a flat rate.
You get the price in writing at the free care visit, before anything is booked. No sign-up fees, no deposits.
Care is booked week to week. Change or pause your schedule with notice, without penalties.

Eligibility rules change. Check with each program directly; we are happy to help you prepare.
The Long-Term Care Program assesses older adults and adults with disabilities who need ongoing help. If you qualify, Social Development may pay part or all of the cost of home support, based on a financial assessment. Contact Social Development to request an assessment; we can explain the process and what to ask.
Social Development's Disability Support Program helps New Brunswick residents aged 19 to 64 with a long-term disability pay for supports such as personal support in and outside the home, respite and life skills. A financial assessment decides how much you contribute, and you can choose to self-manage your plan.
This Social Development program helps families raising a child with a disability pay for things like respite, home support and family support workers. Eligibility is not based on family income or a specific diagnosis. Call your regional Social Development office to apply.
The Veterans Independence Program can help eligible veterans, and some surviving spouses and caregivers, pay for personal care, housekeeping and grounds maintenance so they can stay at home. Contact Veterans Affairs Canada to check eligibility.
Some health benefits and long-term care insurance policies cover home care or respite. We provide detailed invoices and receipts for your claims.
Fees paid for attendant care can count toward the federal medical expense tax credit, and people who qualify for the disability tax credit may be able to claim more. Ask your accountant or the Canada Revenue Agency what applies to you.
Programs and insurers decide eligibility and coverage, not Bayfern, and we cannot guarantee approval. Bayfern is a private company and is not affiliated with these programs. Rates and payment terms are set out in our client service terms.
