Usage Considerations
This data reflects the cost of receiving supports and services from the PDD program by the type of service by quarter (April to June; July to September; October to December; January to March).
The monthly count is based on an average count for the reference month and the 11 previous months. Individuals are counted when an invoice for a service is paid in the month. This method is used to address monthly invoicing fluctuations for a more accurate reflection of average service cost of receiving a service type.
PDD service types include:
Home living, which provides support provided in a wide range of environments to assist individuals to live as independently as possible in an environment of their choice. This includes a variety of options such as:
-
An Individual receiving staff supports in their own home.
-
An Individual sharing a home with a person or people that provide the paid services to the Individual.
-
An Individual who lives in a home that is staffed overnight. Other Individuals can also reside in the home and share services.
-
Respite services that provide a temporary break for primary, non-paid and paid caregivers.
Employment Services support individuals to gain and maintain participation in Alberta’s labour market. This includes two services, Employment Preparation and Employment Maintenance services.
Community Access services support individuals to be included in community activities and promote personal development through arts, education, recreation, community programs and participation in the volunteer sector.
