Government health benefit programs

Alberta Aids to Daily Living

Alberta Aids to Daily Living (AADL) helps Albertans with a long-term disability, chronic or terminal illness to pay for basic medical equipment and supplies.

AADL is a cost-share 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 people receiving income assistance do not pay the cost-sharing portion.

Eligibility

To be eligible, a clinical assessment by a health care professional is required. The health professional will then determine what equipment and supplies can be provided through the AADL program.

Individuals may be eligible for benefits through AADL if they

  • are an Alberta resident with a valid Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan card,
  • require assistance because of a long-term disability, chronic illness or terminal illness, and
  • long-term and chronic are defined as being six months or longer.

Individuals not eligible for AADL benefits are those who receive comparable benefits from another source.

To learn more about eligibility for AADL and how to apply, visit the AADL eligibility application for benefits page.
