Patient-Centred Care

How it Works

AHS’s new initiative—Client-Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI)—takes a more individualized approach to senior home care in Edmonton and the rest of Alberta. Older adults and their families get a chance to select their desired homecare providers through this program. Most of the cost is covered by provincial healthcare. The program enables a significant number of eligible older adults to choose private nursing aides that offer personalized care. We work with you to find what services will be covered by AHS under this new initiative.

They offer essential support with tasks like bathing, dressing, other personal grooming, and mobility assistance. These professionals provide care and companionship, helping older adults preserve their independence as much as they’re able.
• Respite Care in Edmonton – Helps someone when they need a shorter period of care (think months vs. years).

What’s the Cost of In-Home Care?

This varies based on:

• Number of care hours required per day/week

We understand you want the best, but still have a budget. We work closely with you to create customized care plans that meet both care and budget needs. Additionally, CDHCI could cover most or all the cost of care, depending on what you or your loved one need.
