Service Description

Individuals living in Mi'kmaw communities have access to continuing care services through provincially and federally funded programs.

Eligibility for provincial continuing care services varies, depending on whether a person lives in a Mi'kmaw community and whether they are a Registered Status individual under the federal Indian Act and therefore have access to similar federally funded services.

Eligibility

Eligibility is assessed by a care coordinator • Call or visit website for eligibility details
