Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Here are some we’re often asked:
In Alberta, publicly funded respite care through Alberta Health Services (AHS) covers certain short-term support for eligible families, but it’s often limited in scope and availability. Many families choose private care for more flexibility and to ensure their loved one’s routines and preferences are fully supported. At Assurance Home Care, our respite care plans are customized to each family’s needs. Contact us to explore options and pricing that fit your situation.
Respite care provides temporary support for seniors, giving family caregivers time to rest and recharge. In Alberta, respite can be accessed through AHS for basic needs or through private home care services for more personalized, in-home support. With Assurance Home Care, your loved one can be in the comfort of their own home, matched with a trusted caregiver who fits their routines and lifestyle. Whether you need a few hours, a weekend, or several weeks, we make the process simple and stress-free.
Calgary families can choose from a range of respite care options, including in-home support during the day, overnight care, and even 24-hour services for loved ones who require continuous attention.
In-home respite care allows trained caregivers to step in and support your loved one while you take a much-needed break. Services are personalized to fit your family’s routines and may include assistance with daily activities, medication reminders, meal preparation, and companionship. This approach not only helps maintain comfort and familiarity but also ensures consistent care tailored to your loved one’s unique needs.
Yes. For families facing an unexpected situation or crisis, some providers, including Assurance Home Care, offer emergency respite care that can often be arranged within 24-48 hours.

The cost of respite care in Calgary varies depending on the level of support, length of care, and specific needs of your loved one. Private in-home care gives families more flexibility and personalization compared to public options. Assurance Home Care offers competitive rates for high-quality, customized care plans that meet individual needs.
Yes. In Alberta, programs like Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD), Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD), and other provincial supports may help eligible families cover some costs. For families seeking private, fully customized care, Assurance Home Care can guide you through available options and work with you to create a plan that fits your budget and needs.
While Calgary offers adult day programs and other community options, in-home respite care allows your loved one to stay in a familiar environment. This minimizes disruption and supports emotional well-being, especially for individuals who may find new environments overwhelming.
What Our Clients Say
I live a fair distance away and can only come on weekends so it is a huge reassurance to know that these staff are always looking out for my Mom’s best interest. They stay in constant touch with me and accommodate any special requests my Mom needs. She lives in a retirement home where the staff cannot give her the kind of attention she needs. Assurance staff have made it possible for my Mom to “age in place” and not have to go through a traumatic move in her late 90’s. They treat my Mom like their own mother! The owner of Assurance - Kristina has been super supportive, a wealth of information and always available to talk.
This is by far a 10/10 amazing company!!!!
Wouldn’t hesitate to hire again!
