Do care agencies offer FSCD support?

FSCD In-Home Support for Families

Yes. Care agencies may offer Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) services to help families access practical, personalized support at home. At Infinity Healthcare, our FSCD care is designed around each child’s needs, family routines, goals, preferences, and personal choice. We work with families in Edmonton and surrounding communities to help make day-to-day life more manageable while supporting comfort, participation, dignity, and independence.

FSCD support can look different for every household. Some families need regular in-home assistance, while others need flexible respite so a parent or caregiver can rest, attend appointments, work, or spend time with other family members. Our trusted and trained caregivers provide respectful, non-clinical assistance that fits naturally into your home environment and existing routines.

Depending on your family’s approved plan and needs, FSCD in-home support may include:

  • Support with daily routines, personal care, dressing, grooming, and mobility assistance
  • Meaningful companionship, play, activities, and social engagement suited to the child’s interests
  • Help with meals, light household tasks, and maintaining a comfortable home routine
  • Accompaniment and support during community activities or appointments, where appropriate
  • Flexible respite care that gives family caregivers time to recharge
  • Consistent care from caregivers who take time to understand your family’s communication style, preferences, and schedule

Infinity Healthcare is a fully accredited home care provider, and we understand that inviting a caregiver into your home is an important decision. Our team begins with a conversation about what support would be most helpful. Together, we can develop a personalized care plan that respects your family’s priorities and can be adjusted as needs change. We also aim to communicate clearly with families so you know what to expect from your care arrangement.

FSCD funding and service arrangements can vary by family and approved supports. Our team can discuss the type of in-home assistance we provide and help you explore whether our services align with your current plan. You do not have to navigate caregiver support alone.
