Could i claim a gift to a nursing home?

Unfortunately, if the nursing home is not a registered charity, then you cannot claim your donation for tax purposes.

You can see if it is a registered charity on the CRA website:

If it is not a registered charity, then your gift has no relevance for tax purposes. Nevertheless, I trust that you have made a much welcomed contribution to the tenants of the nursing home.

Another thing you need to be aware of is that your wheel chair purchase is claimable as a medical expense for the medical expense tax credit if it was bought to be used by you, your spouse, your child, or your dependent. See list of allowable medical expenses:

You cant if you call it a gift. Under special sections of the income tax maybe. Consult ur auditor.
