Alberta Aids to Daily Living (AADL)
The AADL program helps Albertans with a long-term disability, chronic illness or terminal illness to maintain their independence at home, in lodges or group homes by providing financial assistance to buy medical equipment and supplies. An assessment by a health care professional determines the equipment and supplies that an Albertan can receive through this program.
Albertans pay 25 per cent of the benefit cost to a maximum of $500 per individual or family per year. Low-income Albertans and those receiving income assistance do not pay the up to $500 cost-share portion.
Recently released information about seniors’ cost-sharing status for prosthetic and orthotic benefits was incorrect.
In fact, all seniors in Alberta who access prosthetic, orthotic, mastectomy prosthesis and eye prosthesis benefits through the Alberta Aids to Daily Living (AADL) program will continue to be exempt from cost-sharing. This includes seniors who are currently receiving these benefits as well as those who will be applying for them.
This means there is no cost at all to seniors for prosthetic, orthotic, mastectomy prosthesis and eye prosthesis benefits through AADL.
For more information, call AADL at 780-427-0731 or 780-643-1631.
