 Making Home Care for Children Feasible Through Funding Initiatives

One of the primary reasons for choosing Classic LifeCare includes available sources of funding through many programs, such as Children and Family Services, and Alberta Blue Cross, which make quality care accessible to the families that need it.

1. Children and Family Services (CFS):

CFS is the Children and Family Services that supports families in financial difficulty or needing care. We have had a lot of experience with CFS to ensure that the family gets what it needs.

• Eligibility and Coverage: CFS covers a variety of services, including in-home support, respite care, and specialized medical care for children. We assist in the application process to enable families to qualify for funds.

• Integration: Through this close working with CFS, it minimizes the disruption in care for the child and the family upon transition to funded services, which then leads to a consistent and stable care experience.

2. Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD):

Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) is a program that offers financial support and services to families with children who experience disabilities. Our services at Classic LifeCare are frequently funded by FSCD, which means we’re a natural fit for many of the eligible families.

• Organization Support: FSCD funds everything from specialized medical care, respite care, to developmental support. We work very closely with the FSCD to develop individualized care plans to ensure that each child receives the maximum benefit from the program.
• Case Management Assistance: The web of government services often leaves families confused with what the requirements are for FSCD. Our team helps families understand what is required of them, gather the needed documentation, and complete the application to secure funding.

3. Alberta Blue Cross:

Alberta Blue Cross offers health insurance plans that can help take off a share of the service charges for childcare by Classic LifeCare. In view of this, families with Blue Cross coverage should expect to pay less out of pocket and thereby afford to care for their loved ones.

• Comprehensive Health Plans: Coverage in health plans through Alberta Blue Cross includes various benefits related to medical support services, such as home care, nursing services, and medical appliances; these can be used to spend on childcare at Classic LifeCare.
• Direct Billing and Coordination: We provide direct billing with Alberta Blue Cross for single-session family convenience, eliminating the need for upfront payments. Our administrative team coordinates with Blue Cross to ensure your claims are processed without hassle.

Classic LifeCare is more than just a professional home care provider for children in Calgary; it’s a partner in the well-being of your child.
