What is supportive living vs home care in Alberta?

Compare Alberta supportive living accommodations with home care, eligibility, costs, and independence.

Supportive living basics

Operators set eligibility, age, mobility, medical stability, and sometimes income. Residents have private suites and shared amenities.

Costs include rent, meals, and care packages. Alberta may subsidize accommodation for eligible seniors.

Staying home instead

Home care keeps your loved one in their neighbourhood with flexible hourly support. It is often less disruptive emotionally, though the home must be safe.

Some seniors visit supportive living dining programs while still living at home, hybrid approaches exist.
