How We Help

Client Directed Home Care Invoicing

When you choose Nurse Next Door through CDHCI, you’re choosing support that’s personal, consistent, and centered on your life—not just a task list.

The Nurse Next Door Difference

Happier Aging™ Approach
We start with one question: “What did you love doing that you don’t do anymore?” Then we build a care plan that supports safety and helps you stay connected to what matters most.

Your Perfect Match Caregiver
Care works best when it feels comfortable. We match you with caregivers who fit your needs and your personality—so visits feel more like a trusted relationship.

Consistency You Can Count On
Familiar faces matter. We prioritize continuity so your team learns your routines, preferences, and what “a good day” looks like for you.

How CDHCI Makes Home Care Easier

Once you’re approved by AHS, CDHCI is designed to make it easier to receive ongoing home care with more flexibility and less administrative stress.

Direct Claim Submission

‍For authorized services, claims are submitted through Alberta Blue Cross—so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

Care Without the HR Headache

‍You don’t need to manage hiring, training, or scheduling on your own. You choose your provider—and your provider coordinates the service delivery around your approved plan.

Choice and Control

‍Pick the AHS-approved/eligible provider that fits your family best, and adjust as your needs change (in coordination with your AHS Case Manager).

‍

CDHCI Services We Can Support

Based on your AHS assessment and authorization, CDHCI may include support such as:

Personal Care: bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility support
Homemaking (when authorized): light housekeeping, meal prep, routine support
Respite Care: short-term relief so family caregivers can rest and recharge

How Client Directed Home Care Invoicing Can Help You

What services can be covered?

Authorized services may include personal care, homemaking (in specific cases), and respite—based on your AHS assessment and care plan.

How is CDHCI different from fully self-managed care?

CDHCI is designed so clients can choose their provider while claims flow through Alberta Blue Cross for authorized services—rather than clients running payroll and administration themselves.

What is CDHCI?

AHS’s Client Directed Home Care Invoicing option that lets eligible clients choose a provider registered to submit claims through Alberta Blue Cross, within authorized hours

How to Get Started with CDHCI?

Step 1: Get assessed
If you’re new to home care, request an AHS assessment. If you already have AHS Home Care, ask about CDHCI.

Step 2: Choose Nurse Next Door.
Nurse Next Door locations across Alberta are approved providers for CDHCI.

Step 3: Build a plan that fits your life.
We’ll design your schedule and services around your care plan—and around what matters to you day-to-day.

Clinical Overview of Pneumonia in the Senior Population: Risks, Causes, and Management

Pneumonia remains one of the most significant clinical challenges in geriatric medicine. Characterized by an infection that inflames the air sacs (alveoli) in one or both lungs, this condition can cause the lungs to fill with fluid or purulent material. While pneumonia affects individuals across all age groups, the physiological impact on seniors is notably more severe, often necessitating hospitalization and intensive medical management.

Clinical Perspectives on Body Temperature: A Guide to Monitoring and Management

Accurate monitoring of vital signs is a cornerstone of effective home care and health management. Among these signs, body temperature serves as a primary indicator of an individual’s physiological state. While the concept of a "normal" temperature is widely recognized, clinical practice acknowledges that temperature is dynamic, influenced by age, activity, and circadian rhythms.

Nourishing Joy: How the Right Foods Can Help Manage Arthritis Symptoms

At Nurse Next Door®, we believe that a change in health shouldn’t mean a change in how you enjoy your life. If you or a loved one are navigating the daily challenges of arthritis, you know that joint discomfort can sometimes feel like a barrier to the things you love—whether that’s tending to a backyard garden, playing a morning round of golf, or simply lifting a grandchild for a hug.

Diabetes Management at Home: Balancing Health and Quality of Life

Learning to manage diabetes is a significant transition, not just for the person with the diagnosis, but for the entire family. It often feels like a shift from focusing on "living" to focusing on "managing." However, a change in health doesn’t have to mean a change in quality of life.
