Transforming Care for Aging Albertans

Improved health service integration in housing environments is absolutely critical to our members. ASCHA is excited to share our position paper: Transforming Care for Aging Albertans: Leveraging Housing as Foundational to Integrated Care & Supports to advance our advocacy work on enhanced home care approaches. By leveraging existing options, coordinating and navigating services at a community level, dynamic resource allocation, and strengthening home care through enhanced access, we can work in partnership with government, allied organizations, community-based services, and the health care system to better serve Albertans. This paper, which looks primarily at housing-based care and supports, has been created in collaboration with the Christian Health Association of Alberta (CHAA), who are championing the same recommendations and approach from their own facility-based care lens. We are very excited about our joint efforts in this area, and we welcome further dialogue and feedback from our various audiences.

ASCHA Update - Week of December 2, 2024

Meeting with Honourable Ric McIver, Minister of Municipal Affairs

As part of our ongoing engagement with members of the Legislative Assembly, ASCHA met with Minister Ric McIver to share the sector’s advocacy priorities for the 2025 provincial budget. We also took this opportunity to share our recommendation for equitable property taxes for both affordable housing providers and those providers with government-regulated rates to offset the impact to municipalities from the revenue losses to ensure municipalities can afford to provide them. Minister McIver encouraged the continued advocacy on these issues, so government is fully aware of the challenges the sector faces in meeting the needs of Albertans now and in the future.
