Funding & Caregiver Programs

Navigating government programs can be overwhelming.
The Iris Project helps simplify the process by connecting you with provincial and federal options that may help offset the cost of in-home or private support.

Whether you’re caring for a child, adult, or senior, these programs can help lighten the financial load and support you in accessing the care your family deserves.

Services are available on a private-pay basis and do not require participation in any funded program.

Direct billing through the CDHCI program is available for eligible, approved home care services,

reducing out-of-pocket costs for families when authorization is in place.

Some individuals may choose to use approved external funding programs (such as AHS Self-Managed Care or FSCD funding)

to privately purchase support services when prior authorization is in place.

Eligibility and approval must be confirmed directly with the funding program before services begin.

Alberta Programs

Federal Programs

Some federal programs don’t pay for services directly,

but it may help caregivers manage income or financial pressure while arranging support.
