Need care at home — but still trying to understand how funded care actually works?

You’re not alone.

Many families have heard of CDHCI, but still have practical questions:
• Who qualifies?
• What services are included?
• What do I do first?
• Can I choose a provider I trust?

Foothills Home Services is an approved provider under the program. For eligible Albertans, funded care may include personal care, homemaking, respite, and more — with the process beginning through 811 and an AHS assessment.

If funded care might ease the pressure on your family, this is a good place to start.

One of the most common questions families ask is:
“Is there any funding available for care at home?”

There may be.

Through the CDHCI program, eligible Albertans may be able to access funded home care while choosing Foothills Home Services as their provider.

The process starts with:
• calling 811 for a home care assessment
• working with an AHS case manager
• and, if approved, choosing the provider that feels right for your family

Covered services may include personal care, homemaking, respite, and even 24-hour or palliative care.

Weekly Caregiver Tip 💛

One of the clearest signs that support is working is this:

You breathe differently.

Less bracing.
Less racing through the “what ifs.”
More trust that someone capable and kind is showing up.

Elaine put it beautifully:

“Absolutely amazing care… it changed my life… I trust them with my life.”

Families do not just need help with tasks. They need care they can feel safe handing over.

If you’ve been carrying too much, support should not make you feel guilty. It should make you feel steadier.

For families beginning to explore support, CDHCI-funded services can help make that next step feel more manageable.

If care has been on your mind lately, that thought matters.

Not because something is wrong.
But because paying attention is part of loving someone well.

Many families think they need to wait until things feel “serious enough” before reaching out. In reality, some of the best care decisions happen earlier — when there is still space to ask questions, consider options, and choose thoughtfully.

A free consultation can help you get clear on what support may help now, later, or not at all.

If cost is part of what’s holding you back, it may be helpful to explore funded care options through CDHCI, which can ease that next step.

Weekly Caregiver Tip 💛

Before starting care, ask a simple question:

How will communication work?

Families feel more confident when they know who to contact, how updates are handled, and whether questions will be answered clearly.

That’s why Brittney’s words matter:

“It was a pleasure working with Sylvia at Foothills Home Services. She was available to answer any questions we had and truly cares about the clients and family needs.”

Good care is not only about what happens during the visit. It’s also about how supported families feel around it.

New on the blog: Why Respite Care is Essential for Home Care for Seniors in High River

If you’re supporting a parent, spouse, or loved one, it can be easy to put your own needs at the bottom of the list. But respite care is not a luxury — it is often what helps families keep going with more patience, steadiness, and peace of mind.

Many families are surprised to learn that government-funded home care through CDHCI may help cover respite care, making support more accessible than expected.

In this article, we explore:
• why respite matters for caregivers
• how it benefits seniors too
• and why a little breathing room can improve care for everyone involved

If caregiving has felt heavy lately, this is worth the read.

📞 Call (403) 601-0241 if you’d like to talk through respite care options — including whether CDHCI-funded services may apply to your situation
