We know cost is a major concern for many families. The good news? There are several government-supported programs that can help cover the cost of in-home care—often up to 85%. We’ll walk you through each option and help you access what’s available to you.
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
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.
