Understanding FSCD In-Home Support
Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) funding may help eligible Alberta families access supports that strengthen daily life at home and in the community. The specific services, number of hours, and funding amount are set through your family’s individual FSCD agreement, so coverage can look different from one household to another.
When in-home support is included in an agreement, FSCD funding may be used for practical, non-clinical assistance that reflects your child’s needs, your family’s goals, and your usual routines. At Infinity Healthcare, we work with families to understand the approved scope of support and build a personalized care plan around it.
Depending on the agreement, FSCD funding may contribute to services such as:
- Respite care that gives parents or other family caregivers time to rest, attend appointments, work, or manage other responsibilities while their child receives attentive support.
- Personal care and daily living assistance, such as help with dressing, grooming, bathing routines, mobility support, meals, or bedtime and morning routines.
- In-home supervision and routine support that helps children participate in familiar activities safely and comfortably, according to the family’s plan and preferences.
- Companionship and community support, which may include shared activities or accompaniment on approved outings where this is part of the authorized service plan.
- Caregiver support that helps create more flexibility at home while respecting the child’s interests, choices, and established routines.
FSCD funding does not automatically cover every type of service or every hour requested. It is important to review your current agreement, approved service categories, budget, and any conditions with your FSCD worker. If your family’s needs change, your worker can help explain the process for discussing or reviewing available supports.
