SERVICES OVERVIEW
Explore Our Home Care Services in Edmonton
Different care needs call for different kinds of support. Some people need help with personal routines, while others require companionship, temporary assistance after surgery or regular help over time.
Explore our nine home care services to understand which option may fit your situation.
Personal Care
Personal care assists with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting when these tasks become difficult to manage independently. Support is based on individual abilities, privacy preferences and the assistance required during agreed home visits.
Pre- and Post-Operative Home Care
Returning home after surgery can involve temporary difficulty with movement, personal hygiene and daily routines. Our recovery-period home support focuses on agreed everyday assistance and comfort while medical treatment and rehabilitation remain under the direction of qualified healthcare professionals.
Palliative Care
Palliative home support focuses on comfort, dignity and everyday assistance for people living with serious illness. Caregivers may help with personal routines, companionship and family support while medical symptoms, medication and clinical treatment remain under the appropriate healthcare team's direction.
Disability Care
Adults living with disabilities may need assistance with selected activities while continuing to make choices about their daily lives. Our disability home care focuses on agreed personal routines, mobility-related needs, everyday tasks and support that respects individual abilities and preferences.
Dementia / Alzheimer Care
Memory-related changes can make familiar activities more difficult. Dementia home care provides supportive routines, companionship, reassurance and assistance with agreed daily tasks. Families can discuss supervision needs, personal care and suitable arrangements without assuming continuous monitoring or clinical medication management.
Companionship and Caregiver Support for Seniors
Companionship care provides conversation, social interaction and engagement with familiar interests for older adults who spend substantial time at home. Visits may include shared activities and agreed everyday assistance, helping seniors maintain meaningful contact and familiar routines.
Overnight Care
Overnight home care can help when a loved one needs assistance with nighttime routines, getting to the bathroom or other agreed activities. The visit schedule, level of supervision and caregiver availability should be clarified before arrangements are confirmed.
Respite Care
Family caregivers sometimes need time away for appointments, rest or personal responsibilities. Respite care provides temporary assistance with agreed daily activities while the usual caregiver takes a break. Visit length, duties, scheduling and availability are discussed according to individual needs.
Long-Term Care
Long-term home care provides ongoing assistance when a person's daily support needs continue over months or longer. Care may involve personal routines, companionship and mobility-related assistance. This service supports people living at home rather than providing residential long-term care placement.
Which Type of Home Care Is Right for Your Family?
Families do not always know which service to request. You may recognise a problem in your loved one’s daily routine without knowing the name of the care service that addresses it.
These common situations can help you identify a suitable starting point.
Help With Bathing, Dressing or Personal Hygiene
If your loved one needs assistance with getting dressed, bathing, grooming or toileting, begin with Personal Care. The discussion should identify the specific tasks they need help with and any mobility or privacy considerations.
Changes in Memory or Familiar Routines
If forgetfulness, confusion or difficulty following usual activities is becoming a concern, explore Dementia / Alzheimer Care. Families should explain the person’s daily abilities, communication needs and level of supervision required.
Assistance After Surgery or Hospital Discharge
If someone needs temporary help moving around, managing personal routines or completing everyday activities after a procedure, Pre- and Post-Operative Home Care may be appropriate. Clinical recovery instructions remain with their healthcare professionals.
A Break From Family Caregiving
If a family member normally provides care but needs time to rest, attend appointments or manage other responsibilities, consider Respite Care. The arrangement should specify which caregiving duties need temporary coverage.
Support During the Night
If a loved one regularly needs assistance getting up, using the bathroom or following nighttime routines, explore Overnight Care. The family should explain how often assistance is needed and whether active nighttime supervision is necessary.
Ongoing Help With Daily Activities
When assistance is needed over an extended period rather than during a short recovery or temporary absence, Long-Term Care at Home may be worth discussing. The plan should reflect current needs and consider possible changes over time.
If several situations apply, a care consultation can help clarify which services or combination of appropriate support activities should be discussed.
How to Arrange Home Care in Edmonton
Choosing home support starts with understanding which daily activities require assistance and what kind of arrangement would suit the person receiving care.
Families exploring home care services in Edmonton can begin by sharing their circumstances and discussing the support they are seeking.
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Care Needs
Explain who needs assistance, which activities have become difficult and what support is currently available at home. Useful information includes personal care needs, mobility, memory-related concerns, preferred routines, relevant healthcare instructions and any accessibility requirements. The individual receiving care should be involved in the discussion wherever possible and appropriate.
Step 2: Discuss Suitable Home Support
The next stage is identifying which services may be relevant and discussing the activities, visit frequency and preferred schedule. Care requirements differ between someone needing companionship, a person recovering from surgery and an individual needing hands-on personal assistance. Any specialised clinical or continuous supervision needs should be clarified before selecting an arrangement.
Step 3: Confirm the Arrangement and Next Steps
Before home visits begin, families should understand which activities are included, the proposed schedule, practical home access arrangements and how concerns can be communicated. Availability, caregiver assignments, charges and any booking conditions should be confirmed directly rather than assumed. As needs change, families can discuss whether different assistance or scheduling may be required.
Why Edmonton Families Choose Truly HomeCare
Choosing a home care provider involves understanding its credentials, care approach and the services it can appropriately provide.
Truly HomeCare Services has established Alberta provider recognition and offers a range of home-based assistance for seniors and adults with support needs.
Alberta Home Care Provider Recognition
Truly HomeCare Services identifies itself as approved by Alberta Health Services for Client Directed Care and registered with Alberta Blue Cross for applicable home care arrangements. These credentials are relevant when reviewing a provider, but individual eligibility for publicly funded care depends on the applicable programme requirements.
Recognised for Supporting Alberta Seniors
Truly HomeCare Services was nominated for the 2022 Minister’s Seniors Service Award by the Government of Alberta. This genuine nomination forms part of the agency’s established recognition for senior support.
Care Based on Individual Needs and Routines
Home support should reflect the activities a person needs help with, their usual routines, personal preferences and the involvement they want from family members. A clear discussion also helps distinguish practical caregiver duties from specialised clinical services that require qualified healthcare professionals.
What Affects the Cost of Home Care in Edmonton?
The cost of private home care services in Edmonton depends on the activities required, visit duration, frequency and individual assistance needs.
Someone who needs companionship a few times a week may require a different arrangement from a person needing regular hands-on personal care or more intensive daily support.
Type of Care Required
The activities included in a visit, such as companionship, personal hygiene, mobility assistance, respite or overnight support, help determine the appropriate care arrangement.
Visit Length and Frequency
The number of visits requested, the time required for each visit and whether support is occasional or recurring affect the overall private-care quotation.
Individual Assistance Needs
Mobility limitations, required supervision, physical assistance and other care considerations may affect staffing suitability and the proposed arrangement.
Scheduling and Changes Over Time
Preferred visit times, evenings, overnight requests and changes in care requirements may influence available arrangements and pricing.
Families should ask about any minimum visit requirements, scheduling conditions and additional charges when requesting a quotation.
Private Home Care and CDHCI Funding
Private Home Care
Families can arrange privately paid home support according to an agreed schedule and scope of assistance. Before proceeding, request a quotation describing the included services, visit duration, applicable charges and any conditions affecting changes or cancellations.
Client Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI)
Alberta’s Client Directed Home Care programme allows eligible individuals to arrange authorised personal and home care support through participating providers.
Eligibility and the amount of publicly funded assistance depend on a home-care assessment and approved services. Not every privately requested visit is eligible, and a provider’s registration does not automatically guarantee funding.
Families who have an authorised care plan should review the approved activities and hours before arranging services. Others can seek information about the provincial assessment process through the appropriate home-care access channel.
Home Care That Fits Edmonton Homes and Daily Routines
Arranging home support in Edmonton involves practical details that can affect everyday caregiver visits. In older houses, apartments and multi-level homes, stairs, bathroom access, lifts and mobility equipment may influence the assistance someone requires. Families can discuss entrances, building access, available space and familiar routines when planning support for a loved one at home.
Edmonton’s winters bring additional concerns, including icy walkways, snow-covered entrances and slippery outdoor approaches. Apartment intercoms, visitor parking and building entry procedures can also affect recurring visits. Sharing these details in advance helps families discuss suitable arrangements, particularly when a person needs mobility assistance or when several caregivers or family members coordinate support.

FAQs
Truly HomeCare Services offers support across nine service categories, including personal care, pre- and post-operative home care, palliative support, disability care, dementia and Alzheimer’s care, companionship, overnight care, respite care and long-term home assistance. These services address different everyday needs, from bathing and dressing to social interaction or temporary caregiver relief. The specific activities included depend on the individual service and agreed care arrangement. Families should review the relevant service page or request a consultation to clarify what support is appropriate.
Begin with the everyday activities that have become difficult, rather than selecting a service based only on its name. Someone struggling with bathing and dressing may need personal care, while memory-related changes may call for dementia support. Temporary relief for a family caregiver is different from ongoing long-term assistance. Some people may need more than one kind of support. A care consultation can help identify which services should be discussed and what practical information is needed before arranging visits.
Home care often refers to assistance with personal routines, companionship, mobility and other daily living activities. Home health care can also refer to regulated clinical services such as nursing treatment, wound care or rehabilitation provided by qualified healthcare professionals. Truly’s general caregiver services should not be assumed to include these clinical procedures automatically. If medical treatment, medication administration or specialised nursing is required, clarify which healthcare professionals are responsible before arranging support. Caregivers may complement clinical care without replacing it.
Overnight care and continuous 24-hour care are different arrangements. An overnight visit may involve agreed assistance with nighttime routines, bathroom needs or supervision, depending on the person’s requirements and the available staffing model. Continuous round-the-clock care may require multiple shifts and a separate arrangement. Truly’s overnight senior care in Edmonton page provides more service-specific information. Families should confirm availability, supervision requirements and actual coverage before assuming a particular schedule can be provided.
Private care costs depend on the type of assistance, visit duration, number of visits and any additional physical or supervision requirements. Companionship visits, hands-on personal care and overnight support can involve different arrangements. Families should request a quotation that clarifies the included activities, visit length, minimum booking conditions if applicable and any additional charges. No single private rate should be assumed to apply to every service. An authorised provincial programme may cover selected services for an eligible individual, but that must be considered separately from private pricing.
Alberta’s Client Directed Home Care programme may allow eligible individuals to select a participating provider for services authorised through their home-care assessment. Eligibility, approved activities and the number of care hours are determined individually. A registered provider does not make every requested service automatically eligible for reimbursement, and additional private care may involve separate charges.
