Alberta Funding Guide

Understanding home care funding in Alberta

Alberta offers several pathways to fund care. We've put this guide together in plain language — and we're always here if you want a real person to talk it through with.

Public Home Care (Assisted Living Alberta)

Publicly funded home care falls under the Assisted Living Alberta framework and is based on an assessment of unmet care needs. Eligibility and approved services are determined by the appropriate public authorities, not ILS. Services may include personal care, nursing, and support to remain at home.

  • ✓Assessed through public home care; speak with a public home-care case manager
  • ✓No fee for approved services
  • ✓Can be combined with private support

Client Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI)

CDHCI gives families more choice and flexibility by allowing them to direct authorized public home-care funding to an approved provider like us.

  • ✓You choose your provider
  • ✓Greater continuity of caregivers
  • ✓Invoicing through Alberta Blue Cross for authorized CDHCI care

Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD)

PDD funding supports adults with developmental disabilities in Alberta to live more independently, access their community, and build skills.

  • ✓Community Access supports
  • ✓Home Living supports
  • ✓Employment & skill building

Alberta Blue Cross

Alberta Blue Cross plans and Coordinated Home Care may cover personal care, respite, or other supports depending on your plan.
