At ComfortNest Home Care, we support clients enrolled in the Client Directed Home Care (CDHC) Invoicing Program by providing professional caregivers and handling invoicing directly-so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

This program allows eligible clients to receive home care services without paying out of pocket, while we manage billing in accordance with Alberta Health Services guidelines.
