Leduc is a close-knit city where many families have roots that go back generations. It is also a place where grown children often live nearby and juggle work, kids and an aging parent at the same time. If that sounds like your family, you are not alone.

ComForCare Edmonton provides in-home care for seniors in Leduc. Our caregivers help with the everyday tasks that have become harder, so your loved one can stay safe and independent in the home they love. Our office is in south Edmonton, so Leduc is right in our neighbourhood.

Coming home from Leduc Community Hospital

One of the most common reasons Leduc families call us is a hospital stay. Leduc Community Hospital offers surgery, day surgery, rehabilitation and a 24-hour emergency department. After a surgery, a fall or an illness, coming home can feel overwhelming.

The first few weeks at home are when extra help matters most. Our post-hospital care can include:

• Help getting settled at home on discharge day
• Bathing, dressing and getting safely in and out of bed
• Meal preparation that follows any diet the care team recommends
• Medication reminders
• Rides to follow-up appointments
• Light housekeeping so nothing piles up during recovery

If your parent is having a hip or knee replaced, our guide on hip replacement recovery at home explains what to arrange before discharge.

Home care services for Leduc seniors

Not every family needs the same thing. Some need a few hours a week. Others need someone there day and night. We offer:

• Personal care with bathing, grooming, dressing and toileting
• Companionship and help getting out to appointments, shopping and social activities
• Dementia care from caregivers trained in our DementiaWise® program
• Respite care so family caregivers can rest, work or travel
• 24-hour home care for people who should not be alone
• Fall prevention through our Gaitway® program

Local resources in Leduc

Leduc has strong community supports for older adults. Home care works best alongside them:

• City of Leduc FCSS Older Adult Services offers one-on-one support, help with forms and benefit applications, and wellness check-ins. You can reach them at (780) 980-7109.
• LATS (Leduc Assisted Transportation Service) offers rides for seniors 65+ and people with disabilities within the City of Leduc. You need to apply first, and FCSS can help with the application.
• Leduc & District Seniors Centre at Telford House runs exercise classes, cards, music, a lunch program and Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s support meetings.

For publicly funded home care, anyone can call Health Link at 811 to ask for an assessment. No referral is needed. Private home care from ComForCare can then fill the hours or services that public care does not cover.

When family caregivers need a break

Many Leduc families care for a parent while working full time. That pace is hard to keep up. Caregiver burnout is real, and it can sneak up slowly. If you are feeling exhausted, short-tempered or guilty all the time, it is a sign you need support too. Even a few hours of respite each week can help.
