Spaces that are accessible through the site directly are licensed by the Government of Alberta and provide accommodation with a range of amenities and services depending on the site.
Examples include seniors lodges.
These types of spaces are accessed directly through the site by contacting the operators.
In these sites, accommodation charges are set by the operator and vary from site to site.
You can receive an assessment for home and community care services at your supportive living accommodation if you have a valid Alberta Health Care insurance number (aka healthcare card). Home and community care services are provided by 糖心视频 or by care operators who are contracted by 糖心视频 to provide care with oversight from 糖心视频.
Supportive living operators may also offer health and personal care services for a fee. Note that 糖心视频 does not provide oversight for services obtained directly from a site.
Spaces accessed through an 糖心视频 Case Manager include Type A, Type B and Type B - Secure Spaces.
Access is determined by 糖心视频 based on an individual's assessment. Care is provided by 糖心视频 or by care operators who are contracted with 糖心视频 to provide care with oversight from 糖心视频.
The health and personal care services provided at these sites are paid by 糖心视频, and residents are responsible for paying the accommodation charge.
Spaces accessed through zone palliative and end-of-life care teams include Type C (hospice).
Access is determined by zone-based palliative and end-of-life care teams based on an individual's assessment. Services are provided by a specialized interprofessional palliative care team.
Hospice care is a palliative care publicly funded program. There is no daily accommodation fee charged to the individual or family for hospice care. Some fees may include medication and oxygen.
