The average length of stay required for a relocating patient is nine months, at a total cost of $27,000 for a furnished accommodation. Food and other essential living expenses for the patient and their caregiver is an additional $6,000. That’s $33,000 in total expenses for a patient living without income while going through treatment and recovery - a significant burden that has led many Canadians to turn down life-saving care. It's time we change this.
