New on the blog: Why Use a Home Care Agency for Private Home Care in Alberta?

When families compare options, they often look first at services and price. But what matters just as much is what happens behind the scenes:
-caregiver retention and training
-familiar faces and consistency for clients
-custom care plans
-transparent communication with families
-and knowing someone is available when things change suddenly

That is one of the biggest differences between care that simply fills shifts and the care that we offer; care that truly supports a family well.

If funded care might be relevant to your situation, we make it easy—our agency is approved for the CDHCI program, so you can access high-quality, consistent care through funding if needed.

25 Years, 25 Moments of Care

One of the moments that says the most about good care is this:

A caregiver arrives at the door.
Before the visit has even really begun, the tension in the home changes.

The senior relaxes because the face is familiar.
The routine feels steadier because someone dependable is there.
And later, a family member gets the update they needed and finally exhales.

That is what care often looks like in real life.
Not dramatic. Not performative. Just quietly reassuring.

After 25 years, we know those moments matter deeply — because they are the moments that build trust.

Weekly Caregiver Tip 💛

One of the strongest signs that care is the right fit is not always found on a care plan.

It shows up in the feeling.

Does your loved one seem calmer after visits?
Do they mention the caregiver by name?
Do they sound more relaxed, more comfortable, more like themselves?

Scott shared something that captures that beautifully:

“They are like family to us, and especially to mom.”

That kind of connection matters. It tells you the care is not just being delivered — it’s being received well.

After 25 years, we know trust is built one visit at a time.

The right care should feel capable, compassionate, and familiar.

It’s Seniors Week, and here’s a simple reminder that matters:

One call can change the tone of someone’s whole day.

A quick check-in.
A familiar voice.
A question asked with real attention.

A few extra minutes of conversation instead of a rushed “just wanted to see how you’re doing.”

For many seniors, connection is not a small thing. It supports mood, confidence, and that important feeling of still being included in everyday life.

And when regular connection is harder to maintain, companion care can help fill in the gaps with warmth and consistency.

This month, Foothills Home Services is celebrating 25 years of caring for families across the Foothills. 💛

That milestone means something more than longevity.

It means 25 years of trusted support, familiar faces, custom care plans, and families knowing someone will answer the phone when they need help — day or night.

It also means 25 years of investing in quality: retaining great caregivers, training well, building consistency for clients, and creating care teams seniors can truly get to know.

And to celebrate, we’re offering a special anniversary promotion:
-New clients: Book 25 hours for 3 consecutive months and receive a free pedicure before the end of July
-Current clients: Receive 25% off a pedicure booked before the end of July

Every family approaches care differently. No matter where you are in the process of figuring out the best care for you or your loved one, a conversation with an expert is a good next step.

Weekly Caregiver Tip 💛

A care plan may be built around one person — but it usually affects a whole family.

That’s why one of the best things you can look for in a provider is whether they support the people around the senior too.

Jackie said it so clearly:

“Not just our mother, but the whole family…”

That matters.

Because good care does not only keep a schedule running. It helps everyone breathe a little easier, ask questions more freely, and feel more supported in the process.

And for families navigating care decisions, funded home care options through CDHCI may help reduce some of the pressure.

The best care reaches farther than the task list.

Before home care begins, families usually ask the same few questions:

• What kind of support do we actually need?
• How often can care happen?
• Will my parent accept help?
• Is any funding available?
• How do we know when it’s time?

Those are good questions.

If you’re in that stage right now, you’re not behind — you’re doing the work of being thoughtful.

We’ve created articles and resources to help families sort through these decisions with a little more confidence, including information about respite care and CDHCI-funded services.

This June, Foothills Home Services will be reflecting on 25 years of supporting families in our community.

That milestone means a great deal — but what matters most is what it represents: years of trust, relationships, local care, and families who needed support in real moments of life.

If you’re beginning to ask bigger questions about care, you do not need to wait for the “perfect” moment.

A single conversation can bring clarity, reassurance, and a better sense of what support could look like for your family.
