class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Client-Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI) Program is a home care model introduced by Alberta Health Services to give individuals and families more control over their government-funded home care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of being automatically assigned to a care provider by Alberta Health Services (AHS), eligible clients can now choose their preferred, qualified provider from a list of approved agencies, including Always Best Care of Calgary SW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re approved for this program, your selected provider will work with you to deliver the care you need. The provider then bills Alberta Blue Cross directly for the subsidized portion of your services, so you don\u2019t have to manage the paperwork or payments yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Overview of Alberta\u2019s Updated Home Care Model<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before CDHCI, Alberta families often had to navigate a rigid system where AHS made all the decisions, right down to which caregivers arrived at your door. This often resulted in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inconsistent caregivers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delayed care starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Missed or rushed appointments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of personal connection or accountability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The CDHCI program was introduced to eliminate these frustrations and put the client back at the centre of the care experience. It reflects a growing understanding that personalized, reliable home care starts with choice, trust, and flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this model, clients are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Assessed by AHS to determine eligibility and care needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Given a set number of approved hours per month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Empowered to select their own care provider.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supported by a system that values both care quality and consistency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcarecanada.ca\/calgarysw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/141\/2025\/07\/425-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"A female caregiver with a stethoscope gently supports an elderly woman walking in a home environment.

These services are designed to help you or your loved one live safely and comfortably at home, with support tailored to real-life needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Personal Care: Dignity in Daily Living<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common types of support is personal care. This includes help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, safe mobility, and taking medications on time. For many families, this type of care preserves not only health but also dignity, ensuring loved ones feel supported rather than dependent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Homemaking Support for Health and Safety<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Homemaking services may also be included in your care plan. These are focused on maintaining a healthy living environment and might involve essential tasks like cleaning bathrooms used for personal care, doing laundry related to incontinence, or cleaning mobility aids and medical equipment. These practical supports help reduce the risk of illness or injury and make day-to-day living more manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Respite Care for Family Caregivers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Another essential offering is respite care. A temporary break for family caregivers who may be providing round-the-clock support. If your loved one cannot be safely left alone, a professional caregiver can step in for a few hours, giving family members a chance to rest, run errands, or tend to their own well-being without worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcarecanada.ca\/calgarysw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/141\/2025\/07\/427-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"A female caregiver kneels next to an older man in a wheelchair outside on a sunny day.
