Explore Options for Homecare Funding

If you or your loved one qualify for Alberta Health Services (AHS) homecare, HomeFree is here to help. As an approved provider under the Client Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI) program, we bill Alberta Blue Cross directly—so you can access care without the paperwork or stress.

We manage staffing, scheduling, and record-keeping, so you can focus on what matters most: your health and family.

‍How It Works

• Funding covers up to $33.61/hour of care
• You choose your provider (that’s us!)
• We handle the administration
• You stay in control of your care

The Self-Managed Care (SMC) program gives you direct monthly funding from AHS so you can hire and manage your own caregivers—including trusted providers like HomeFree. This is ideal for families who want more flexibility and direct control.

Key Features:

• You choose and manage your own caregiver
• Direct monthly funding provided to you
• Ideal for clients who want more autonomy
• Supports personal care, home support, and medical care needs

Alberta Blue Cross administers certain government-funded programs to help with homecare costs. These can include special support for seniors, palliative care patients, and those with long-term or chronic conditions.

Key Features:

• Covers additional medical services or equipment
• May supplement CDHCI or SMC programs
• Support varies based on age, diagnosis, and income
