Public long-term care and home care in Salisbury

Long-term care placement in New Brunswick, including for residents of Salisbury, is arranged through the provincial Department of Social Development, not a regional health authority. One application covers home support services, special care homes, nursing homes and memory care homes. A social worker assesses the level of care needed, and for nursing home admission a physician or nurse practitioner must also complete a Medical Status and Physical Examination form. Special care homes like Silver Fox are privately owned but provincially licensed, and subsidies are income-tested through the Standard Family Contribution rather than automatic for every applicant.

To start an application or ask about home support for a Salisbury family member, contact Social Development at 1-833-733-7835 (Monday to Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), or call the New Brunswick Government Seniors' Information Line at 1-855-550-0552 for general guidance on programs and services.

How to choose a senior home in Salisbury

• Confirm which care level (special care, memory care or nursing home) the person has been assessed at, since this determines eligibility and pricing at a home like Silver Fox.
• Ask Silver Fox Special Care Home directly for current monthly rates by care type, since none are yet published on SeniorHome.ca.
• Check the home's most recent provincial inspection report before signing anything, and ask how any noted issues were corrected.
• Ask about staffing at night, what triggers a move from assisted living to memory care, and how costs change as needs increase.
• If Salisbury's single option doesn't fit, compare nearby towns such as Moncton, Riverview or Dieppe for more choice at a range of price points.
• Not sure which level of care applies? Start with a free care assessment before calling homes directly.
