For Edmonton families raising a child with a disability, the right in-home support can change everything — the rhythm of the household, a parent’s ability to rest, and a child’s access to consistent, skilled care. Alberta’s Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) program exists to help make that support possible. This guide explains how families can pair FSCD funding with private, LPN-led home care, and exactly how invoicing and reimbursement work.
What Is FSCD?
Family Support for Children with Disabilities is an Alberta government program that helps families access services and supports for children under 18 who have a disability. Depending on a family’s agreement, FSCD can help cover a range of supports — including respite, aide services, and specialized care that allows a child to thrive at home.
Every FSCD agreement is individual. It is built around your child’s needs, your family’s circumstances, and the goals you set with your caseworker. That flexibility is exactly why private, relational care can be such a strong fit.
Why Families Choose LPN-Led Home Care
New Day Homecare provides private concierge home care with LPN-led oversight. For children with complex or medical needs, that clinical layer matters. Our care plans are designed and supervised by a Licensed Practical Nurse, so families receive more than task-based help — they receive structured, clinically sound support delivered with genuine relational care.
Because our caregivers work one-to-one in your home, care adapts to your child — their sensory preferences, their communication style, their best times of day. This is the difference between simply filling a shift and building a trusted, ongoing relationship.
How Invoicing and Reimbursement Work
Important: New Day Homecare does not direct bill FSCD. Instead, we provide detailed, itemized clinical invoicing that makes family reimbursement straightforward. You receive care with confidence, and your paperwork stays clear and audit-ready.
Here is what families can expect:
- Care is delivered according to your child’s LPN-led plan, with hours and services documented.
- You receive an itemized invoice detailing dates, hours, services, and caregiver support — written clearly enough to support reimbursement.
- You submit for reimbursement through your FSCD agreement, using our clean documentation.
- We stay available to clarify any line item your caseworker may ask about.
This approach keeps you fully in control of your FSCD agreement while removing the administrative friction that so often gets in the way of good care.
Getting Started
If your family has an FSCD agreement — or you are exploring one — the best first step is a conversation. We will listen to your child’s needs, explain how LPN-led home care can support your goals, and show you exactly how our clinical invoicing supports reimbursement.
