After reviewing 25 years of Alberta disability policy, one gap stood out: while the system modernized governance, accountability, safety, and outcomes, Family Managed Services administration remained largely manual.

For many aging, burned-out, or ill caregivers, the choice eventually becomes agency services—not because they want to leave FMS, but because agencies have administrative infrastructure families do not.

This proposal creates a third option:

Keep care with families. Modernize the administration.

Built on 23 years of caregiving, 16 years of Family Managed Services administration, and Alberta’s own policy history.

Preserve Family Choice. Modernize Administration.

After 23 years of caregiving and 16 years navigating Family Managed Services through FSCD and PDD, today I sent the PDD-FMS Digital Administration Pilot Proposal to the Minister.

This proposal is not about taking away family choice.

It is about preserving family-directed care while reducing the administrative burden carried by families.

Families should not have to choose between their health, their careers, and the care of their loved ones.

The question is simple:

Can we modernize administration while keeping families in control of care?

Thank you everyone for the informed feedback to ensure Now we wait.

For every caregiver carrying the invisible workload of staffing, scheduling, payroll, documentation, crisis response, and coordination—I see you.

The conversation has begun.

Family Managed Services works.

I know because I have lived it.

For 16 years I fought to access supports, build teams, recruit staff, manage schedules, process paperwork, solve crises, and keep services running so my son could remain safely supported in his home and community.

The care isn’t the problem.

The hidden employment and payroll burden is.

Families can hire, train, supervise, and direct care. That choice must remain.

But service providers deserve to be recognized as workers, paid on time, and supported through a system that handles payroll, deductions, and administration.

If we don’t address this issue, Family Managed Services may not survive for the next generation of families.

This is why I am calling for a Family Managed Services Pilot Project:

✅ Keep family choice.
✅ Keep family-directed care.
✅ Let government handle payroll and administration.
✅ Make FMS sustainable for the future.

The care worked.

The system around it needs to catch up.

ADAP demands this conversation!!! It’s been a long time since I felt the fire in me again! The employment of service providers in family managed services!!! This is an election issue!!!

🎵 But God — from The Caregiver Chronicles by ❤️

This video is a glimpse into the reality behind accessing disability supports.

What people see is funding.

What they don’t see is the years spent learning how to staff a house, recruiting workers, managing schedules, handling crises, fighting for hours, attending meetings, completing paperwork, and advocating for services that match the actual need.

My journey began in 2009.

The care was never the problem.

The challenge was accessing, building, coordinating, and sustaining the supports needed to keep life moving forward.

This reel follows part of that story—from the early years, through school, employment, staffing crises, emergency calls, contract battles, and the relentless advocacy required to secure appropriate supports for Mason.

For many Family Managed Services (FMS) families, caregiving is only one part of the workload. The hidden administrative burden often becomes a second full-time job.

After 16 years of lived experience, I believe it is time to explore a Family Managed Services Pilot Project that preserves family choice while reducing the administrative burden placed on caregivers. .ca

The care should remain family-directed.

The paperwork shouldn’t consume families.

Calling for a pilot project. Please share your feedback.

Caregiver collapse is real.

Hairstyling was my little girl dream. ✂️

Accessing disability services became a second job.

The care was never the burden.

The administration was.

Keep care family directed.
Modernize the administration.
If you’re an FMS family, would a pilot project that keeps care family-directed but removes the payroll burden help your family? ✂️
Follow to hear more of her amazing modern day psalms. Thank you so much for helping me see in this place I’ve been

“Father, You hear the cries of the afflicted…”

The caregiving was never the burden.

The burden was everything required to keep the care going.

The paperwork.
The payroll.
The invoicing.
The scheduling.
The staffing crises.
The endless coordination behind the scenes.

For years, I worked, went to school, raised my son, and managed disability services at the same time.

Today, I still do.

The paperwork was never the purpose.

He was.

Maybe it’s time to explore a Family Managed Services pilot that preserves family choice while removing the administrative burden families have carried for decades.

Thank you so much for hearing what I could not articulate.

Keep care family directed. Pilot a family managed services program — test it. Agencies failed according to the government back pages of PDD with their pilot beginning in 2012. This is the way to prevent more

Let government handle the payroll. ✂️

thank you for the music ❤️
