Adding 1 Million Hours of Home Care for Albertans

Budget 2022 includes $750 million for home care, an increase of 12 per cent from the previous year. Total hours of care will increase to 13 million this year from 12 million in 2021-22.

In addition, Alberta Health Services is looking for new approaches to delivering home care through a request for expressions of interest and qualifications (RFEOIQ). The process will help identify options to improve client outcomes, enhance health system integration and coordination, increase access to specialized services and fill gaps in service delivery. Alberta Health and AHS will also explore new contract opportunities for congregate co-operative building operators who are interested in delivering home care directly to their residents.

For those seeking further information, you can also access information on the Alberta Health Services website at Home Care Request for Expression of Interest & Qualification (RFEOIQ) | Alberta Health Services
