CDHCI — Government-Funded Home Care in Alberta
Client Directed Home Care Invoicing explained in plain English. Your guide to accessing funded care.
What is CDHCI?
Client Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI) is an Alberta government program that allows eligible Albertans to choose their own approved home care provider, with costs largely covered by Alberta Health Services (AHS). Instead of receiving AHS-assigned caregivers, you choose SwyftCare — and AHS pays us directly.
