Many Alberta seniors want to stay in their own homes as they age; many spouses and children want to help.
But one thing we learned through Groundwork II: Seniors & COVID-19 — an Edmonton Journal pilot project in engagement journalism — is that Alberta’s system to provide home care is not easy to access and understand.

But that’s not meant to discourage. Because of what we heard, the Edmonton Journal is partnering with Caregivers Alberta to offer the community an insiders’ guide to all this. Join us now, before you find yourself or a loved in the hospital and faced with big choice.
Learn what questions you should be asking, what options you have.
