Family Support & Respite Care
Reliable help for the people doing the caring.
Who it's for
Family caregivers often carry far more than anyone else sees. We provide respite and practical care support so you can rest, work, travel, manage other responsibilities, or simply spend time with your loved one as family again.
We can support your family with:
- Respite care for a few hours, overnight, or longer
- Care transition support after hospital or rehabilitation
- Coordination across caregivers and healthcare providers
- Clear family updates and a consistent point of contact

In-Home Physician Care
Medical appointments at home when getting to a clinic is difficult.
Who it's for
For clients with limited mobility, complex health needs, or a difficult recovery, an in-home physician visit can reduce the strain of transportation and help connect medical recommendations with the care already happening at home.
In-home physician care can include:
- Medical assessment and follow-up at home
- Medication review
- Chronic condition management
- Post-hospital follow-up
- Coordination with the nurse-led home care team

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what kind of home care my loved one needs?
You do not need to figure that out before you call us. We start with a conversation about what is happening now, what your family is worried about, and what support would make daily life safer or more manageable. From there, our nurse can recommend the next step.
Will my loved one have the same caregiver?
Continuity is one of our priorities. We aim to build a small, consistent care team around each client so your loved one can develop trust with familiar caregivers. Backup coverage may occasionally be needed, but we work to minimize unnecessary changes.
Are your caregivers trained?
Yes. Caregivers are selected for their experience, skill, reliability, and ability to connect with clients and families. They receive ongoing support and guidance from Ascent’s nurse-led team, with additional training based on the needs of the clients they serve.
Can Ascent provide overnight or 24/7 home care?
Yes. We provide overnight and 24/7 support for families who need continuous assistance, supervision, dementia care, complex medical support, or additional peace of mind at home.
Can I use Alberta government funding with Ascent Home Care?
Ascent Home Care is an approved provider under Alberta’s Client Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI) program. Eligibility and funded services are determined through Alberta Health Services. If your loved one is approved, our team can help you understand the setup and care process.
What if my loved one’s needs change?
Home care should be able to change with the person receiving it. Our nurse-led team can review the care plan and adjust support as health, mobility, routines, safety needs, or family circumstances change.
How quickly can care begin?
Timing depends on the type of care required, scheduling, caregiver availability, and any clinical needs. The best first step is a free consultation so we can understand the situation and explain what can happen next.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Our care is designed to be flexible so families can adjust the level of support as circumstances change. We will explain service agreements, scheduling, and any notice requirements before care begins.
