Respite Care and Disability Support
in St. Albert
We offer non-medical respite and everyday disability support to St. Albert families, whether the person needing support is a child, an adult with a disability, or a senior who wants to stay connected. That can mean time away for caregivers, steady routines, companionship, help getting to appointments and outings in the community. Fit is confirmed with you first, including address, hours and funding (FSCD, PDD/FMS or private pay).

Person-centred, non-medical help
Help that fits your family's week
Good support makes the week feel more manageable. We start by listening: how the day usually runs, what the person enjoys, how they communicate, what keeps them safe and where family members are stretched. From there, support for St. Albert households may include caregiver relief, companionship, help with daily living, appointments and time out in the community. Start dates depend on your location, schedule, staffing and funding.
Companionship and routines
Regular visits for conversation, shared activities and help with everyday tasks, for adults who want more company during the week.
Getting out and about
Support for outings, recreation, errands and social activities, chosen around what the person enjoys rather than a set program.
Respite for families
Planned breaks for parents and caregivers, with help for routines and safe, engaging activities. With an FSCD agreement, we can discuss whether the request fits our non-medical scope.
Who we support
Every situation is different, so we begin with a conversation.
Older adults
Company, routine help and appointment support for seniors who want to stay at home.
Adults with a disability
Routines, appointments and community time, talked through alongside PDD or Family Managed Services.
A typical week of support
Support should fit the person's life, not the other way around. Here are some examples of what a week might include.
Planned respite — scheduled hours so a caregiver can work, rest or catch up while a familiar routine carries on.
Daily routines — meal prep, reminders, light household tasks and getting ready for appointments, agreed beforehand.
Appointments and outings — help preparing for and attending suitable appointments, recreation, errands or social events.
Companionship — steady conversation and shared activities that help the person feel connected.
Starting support with us
The process is short: a conversation, a look at routines and goals, and a plan built around what will help.
Conversation — we hear about routines, goals, hours and how support may be funded.
Review — we check your address, hours, safety needs and whether we are a good fit.
Plan and match — we outline a practical plan and discuss the right staff match where possible.
First visit — support begins once the schedule and scope have been agreed.
Funding options
Support can be funded, privately paid or a mix. We help you see which route fits, without promising eligibility or approval.
FSCD — Family Support for Children with Disabilities, open to eligible families.
PDD or Family Managed Services — options for eligible adults, confirmed case by case.
Private pay — a flexible choice if no funded program applies or a service isn't covered.
CDHCI arrangements — where eligible, funding routed through approved family or agency options.
