Services

Spruce Grove CSD will screen residents for eligibility and determine if the resident qualifies for a subsidized rate. After eligibility is confirmed, the resident will complete a Home Support Subsidy Agreement. The agreement outlines the rate the resident will pay, the subsidy amount (up to $20 per hour), and the hours per month the resident is approved for. Residents will contact an approved service provider directly to arrange services.

To determine eligibility or to obtain more information on the Home Support Subsidy Program contact Spruce Grove Community Social Development (CSD).
