FSCD, PDD/FMS and private pay considered
Non-medical, person-centred support
Support built around real routines
The right support should make daily life feel steadier, not more complicated. Avelora Life begins by understanding the person's routines, goals, communication preferences, safety considerations and family needs. Support may include caregiver relief, companionship, daily-living assistance, appointments and meaningful community participation. Availability is confirmed after a conversation about location, schedule, staffing, funding pathway and service fit.
Companionship and daily living
Consistent conversation, shared activities, help with daily routines, and time in the community for adults who would benefit from more connection.
Community participation
Appointments, recreation, shopping, volunteering, and social activities that build connection in the community, matched to what the person enjoys.
Children and family respite
Planned caregiver relief, help with routines, and safe, meaningful activities. When an FSCD agreement is involved, we can discuss whether the requested support fits our non-medical scope.
Family caregivers
A conversation about the person's routines, goals, and where extra support could help during the week.
Seniors
Consistent companionship, help with daily routines, and support attending appointments.
Adults with disabilities
Daily routines, appointments, and community participation, discussed alongside PDD or Family Managed Services arrangements.
What support can look like
Good support should fit the person's life, not the other way around. Here is what that can look like during an ordinary week.
Planned respite — reliable time for a caregiver to work, rest, or manage other responsibilities while an agreed routine continues.
Daily routines — meal preparation, reminders, light household tasks, and getting ready for appointments, agreed in advance.
Appointments and community participation — help preparing for and taking part in suitable appointments, recreation, shopping, or social activities.
Companionship — consistent conversation and shared activities that build connection during the week.
How getting started works
Getting started is simple. Most families move through a short conversation, a look at daily routines and goals, and a plan built around what actually helps.
Consultation — a conversation about routines, goals, schedule and funding pathway.
Needs review — we look at location, schedule, safety considerations and service fit.
Plan and matching — we outline a practical support plan and discuss staff matching where relevant.
Support start — the agreed support begins, with schedule and scope confirmed in advance.
Funding pathways
Support may be funded, privately paid, or a mix of both. We help identify which pathway fits, without promising eligibility or approval.
FSCD — Family Support for Children with Disabilities, for eligible families in Alberta.
PDD or Family Managed Services — funding pathways for eligible adults, confirmed individually.
Private pay — a flexible option when funded programs are not in place or do not cover a service.
Eligible CDHCI arrangements — funding routed through approved family-managed or agency-based options.
