How does FSCD support children with disabilities?

Personalized Support for Your Family

Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) is an Alberta program that can help eligible families access services that support a child’s participation at home and in the community. Every family’s circumstances, routines, and goals are different, so the type and amount of support are determined through the family’s FSCD plan and approved services.

Infinity Healthcare provides respectful, non-clinical in-home support for families using FSCD services in Edmonton. Our role is to work alongside parents and caregivers, providing practical assistance that fits the child’s preferences and the family’s daily life. Support is designed to strengthen comfort, consistency, and independence at home while respecting each family’s choices.

Depending on the approved plan and your family’s needs, trusted and trained caregivers may provide support such as:

  • Assistance with daily routines, including dressing, grooming, meals, and transitions.
  • Supervision and engaging activities that reflect the child’s interests, abilities, and family routines.
  • Help with social, recreational, or community activities when included in the care plan.
  • Respite support that gives parents and family caregivers time to rest, attend appointments, manage responsibilities, or recharge.
  • Consistent in-home assistance that helps families maintain routines and a comfortable home environment.

We begin by listening. During a personalized care consultation, we discuss your goals, preferred schedule, your child’s routines, and the support outlined in your FSCD agreement. We then develop a care plan that is clear, flexible, and centred on dignity, respect, and personal choice. As needs or schedules change, we can work with your family to review the support arrangement and help coordinate care within the scope of approved services.

Infinity Healthcare is a fully accredited home care provider, and our caregivers are screened and trained to provide reliable, compassionate support. We understand that inviting someone into your home is an important decision. Families can expect open communication, a respectful approach, and care that recognizes home is where life happens.

FSCD funding and eligibility decisions are managed by the FSCD program. If you have questions about the services approved for your family or would like to explore in-home support options, contact Infinity Healthcare to speak with a professional care provider and discuss a plan built around your child and family.
