Quality of Life Program

Overview of the Quality of Life Program program:

MS Canada's Quality of Life Program is designed to alleviate the financial burden associated with purchasing essential equipment and assistive devices for individuals living with MS. The program provides grants to help cover the costs of items such as mobility aids (e.g., wheelchairs, scooters, walkers), bathing aids, braces and supports, home computer adaptations, hospital beds, lift systems, kitchen aids, specialized clothing, toileting aids, transferring aids, and vehicle modifications.
