Caring for You, Right at Home — Fully Funded

Alberta's CDHCI program gives you greater control and flexibility over your own home care. Heritage Home Care is an approved provider through Alberta Health Services (AHS).

The Program

Greater control over your care

The CDHCI program lets eligible clients directly manage and personalize the care they receive at home, rather than relying solely on traditional service-delivery models. As an AHS-approved provider, we offer personalized, flexible home care across Alberta — and we handle the paperwork for you.

Client Control & Choice

Choose your own caregivers, set your care schedule, and have a real say in the type of care you receive — for truly tailored, personalized support.

Budget Control

You're allocated a budget to cover the caregiving services you need — flexibility in choosing providers and deciding the type and level of care.

Services Covered

  • No out-of-pocket payment for covered services — we handle direct billing to Alberta Blue Cross for you.
