A complete Alberta CDHCI guide for families in 2026
Who qualifies, what's covered, and how to switch providers.
#1 Right Care helps Albertans stay safely at home — through aging, recovery, and everything in between. Personalized care plans, hand-matched caregivers, and a team that answers the phone themselves.
We work with families across very different situations — here are the three most common.
You've started to notice mom or dad needs a little more help. We'll listen, ask the right questions, and help you put a plan together — without the pressure.
Discharge is overwhelming. We coordinate care fast — often within 48 hours — so your loved one heals safely, with the right support at every shift.
Most Albertans would rather age at home than move to a facility. We help make that possible — with companion care, dementia support, and overnight presence as needs evolve.
From companion visits to complex care — every visit handled by an experienced #1 Right Care team that knows your family.
Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, mobility — with patience and dignity.
Prompt, reliable reminders so daily routines stay on track.
Trained in redirection, validation, and creating calm familiar routines.
Friendly visits, light housekeeping, meal prep, errands, and outings.
A few hours, a weekend, or overnight — so family caregivers can rest.
Ongoing care planning for chronic conditions and extended needs.
Most families have care started within 48 hours of their first call.
A friendly call to understand your situation — no commitment.
Our care coordinator visits to build a personalized plan with you.
We hand-match by personality, language, schedule, and need.
Visits start with regular check-ins so everything stays right.
#1 Right Care is an approved CDHCI provider (Client-Directed Home Care Invoicing) — the largest source of funded home care in Alberta. If you're approved by AHS, we bill them directly. You focus on care, not paperwork. More funding options coming soon.
A no-jargon 3-page guide for Alberta families navigating home care funding. Built from the questions we hear most often.
Care plans built around real lives. Caregivers chosen by hand. A team that answers the phone themselves.
Big national franchises run call centres and rotating rosters. We're locally owned and run — the person who plans your care is the person you'll actually reach.
Alberta-based since day one. Decisions are made here by people who live in your community — not at a head office in another province.
We match by personality, language, and need — and re-match at no cost if it isn't right. No anonymous rotating roster.
Call and you reach our team, not a phone tree or an overseas call centre. We answer live during care hours.
Most families have care started within two days of their first call — often same-day for hospital discharges.
When mom came home from the hospital, we were terrified. #1 Right Care met us that same afternoon, made a plan, and within two days had paired her with a caregiver who genuinely connects with her. We finally exhale at night.
Dad has dementia and we'd tried two other agencies. The difference here is the matching — they sent someone he actually likes. He looks forward to her visits now.
My husband qualified for CDHCI funding but I was lost in the AHS paperwork. They walked us through every step and started care the next week. Honestly a lifeline.
Our caregivers are hired for their warmth first, their experience second. Here's a glimpse of the kind of care we bring into homes every day.
