Home Care That Puts YOU In Control

When it comes to choosing Home Care for your senior loved ones, there is a lot to consider. You need to consider where they want to live, their care needs, what supports they have available and so much more. While basic needs can be met by Public Home Care, there is a new Program available for Alberta’s seniors called Client Directed Home Care.

This is extremely good news for Seniors in Alberta and more locally, here in Calgary. While Public Home Care has been around for decades, this program has been known for meeting only the basic needs of the seniors. Now, with the Client Directed Home Care Program, YOU are in control. You are in control of where you or the older adult in your life want to age, what schedule works for them and what Company you want to hire to provide this care.

The Client Directed Home Care Program grants Alberta Seniors a set amount of funds that they can use to receive high quality care from Home Instead to stay at home. A Home Instead Care Professional will help with meal Planning, simple exercises, personal care, dementia care and so much more!

Most families use this as a subsidy to help reduce the amount they will need to pay to help keep their loved one safe at home. With 25-40 hours a week, most older adults can live the way they desire, at Home!

If you currently receive Public Home Care reach out to your Case Manager to learn more or if this is your first time, call the self-referral line at 403-943-1900.

Our Care Navigators would love the opportunity to discuss how Home Instead can help you or the Older Adult in your life stay at home. Call our team today at: 403-984-9225 or visit our services page.
