Care Options for Seniors
The Alberta Health Services Seniors Health program serves a wide range of populations from birth to death. The Home Care Program, for example, may provide care and support to infants, children, adolescents, adults and seniors. Palliative Care programs impact all age groups.
Most Albertans enjoy good health, quality of life, and want to live independently as they age. Being able to remain in your own homes, in your own communities is important to you.
Alberta Health Services has a plan to make that happen, by providing you with the right care in the right place. We are working with Alberta Health & Wellness and Alberta Seniors and Community Supports to achieve this goal.

Objective and Care Options
Our objective is to offer a range of services to support wellness and independence.
Care Options for Seniors include:
To access these services, request an assessment through your local Home Care Program. A Home Care Registered Nurse* will meet with you to discuss your needs and conduct an in-home assessment that may include input from your family doctor, your family, and other health-care professionals. Together, you and your home care team will create a plan of care with the right mix of services to support your abilities and your lifestyle.
To get more information on seniors living options or to request an assessment, contact your local Home Care Program, talk to your family doctor or call HEALTHLink Alberta Toll-Free 1-866-408-5465.
* In some parts of the province, other allied health-care professionals (i.e. physical therapists, occupational therapists, social workers) also complete assessments.
