Beaumont has grown quickly, but it still has a small-town feel. Many older adults here have lived in the same home for decades. They know their neighbours, their church and their favourite coffee spot. So when everyday tasks start to get harder, most of them want to stay right where they are.

In-home care makes that possible. ComForCare Edmonton supports families in Beaumont with trained caregivers who come to the home, follow a personalized care plan and help your loved one live safely and comfortably. Our office is in south Edmonton, a short drive from Beaumont.

Signs your parent in Beaumont may need help at home

Needing help does not happen overnight. Families often notice small changes first:

• Meals are skipped, or the fridge is full of expired food
• Laundry, dishes or mail are piling up
• Missed medications or confusion about doses
• A recent fall, or a fear of falling
• Less interest in going out or seeing friends
• A recent hospital stay that has made daily life harder

If you are seeing one or two of these, it is a good time to start the conversation. Our guide on how to talk to an aging parent about home care can help.

Home care services we provide in Beaumont

Every plan is built around the person, not a checklist. Families in Beaumont most often ask us for:

• Personal care: help with bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting, done with respect and privacy.
• Companionship: conversation, games, walks and outings so your loved one is not alone all day.
• Light housekeeping and meal preparation: laundry, tidying and healthy meals that match their diet.
• Dementia care: support from caregivers trained in our DementiaWise® program.
• Respite care: a break for family caregivers, for a few hours or a few days.
• 24-hour home care: around-the-clock support when it is not safe to be alone.
• Post-hospital care: extra help in the weeks after surgery or a hospital stay.

Public home care and private home care: how they work together

In Alberta, anyone can call Health Link at 811 to ask for a home care assessment. You do not need a doctor’s referral, and you can call on behalf of a parent. If your loved one qualifies, Alberta Health Services may provide some publicly funded home care hours.

Many families find those hours are a great start but do not cover everything. That is where private home care comes in. Private care can fill the gaps, such as evenings, weekends, longer visits or companionship. Some families also use Alberta’s Client Directed Home Care Invoicing program to choose their own provider. You can learn more in our guide to CDHCI in Alberta.

Local supports in Beaumont that work alongside home care

Beaumont has good community resources for older adults, and we are happy to work alongside them:

• Beaumont Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) offers preventive services for seniors with low to moderate incomes. Their community development coordinator can connect seniors with local programs and help with government benefit applications.
• Outreach Home Support through Beaumont FCSS is a light housekeeping service for eligible seniors.
• The City of Beaumont adopted an Age-Friendly Strategy in 2021 that supports aging in place.

Home care adds the hands-on, day-to-day support that community programs are not set up to provide.
