PDD - Family Managed Caseloads by Region

Description

The Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) program provides services to help adults with developmental disabilities live as independently as possible in their communities. The data goes back to June 2018 and tracks how many individuals are accessing their PDD services by using Family Managed Services (FMS) in regions across the province.

 

FMS allows for a person to manage their services by hiring staff directly or by obtaining supports through a PDD approved service provider by entering into a Family Managed Service agreement (FMSA).

Usage Considerations

Data is from seven main service areas: Calgary, Central, Edmonton, North Central, North East, North West and South.

 

The FMSA is an agreement between the Minister or department representative and the FMS administrator. While most FMSAs are administered by family members close to the individual receiving PDD services, the role of the FMS administrator may also be fulfilled by a non-relative.

 

The PDD monthly caseload count is based on an average count for the reference month and the 11 previous months. Individuals are counted when an invoice for services is paid in the month. This method is used to address monthly invoicing fluctuations for a more accurate reflection of the number of individuals receiving services.
