Entrust provides group homes for adults with disabilities in Calgary. Our Residential Care Program helps adults who are 17 or older.
Two Ways to Start:
In Calgary, our team supports families accessing government funding for personalized care options.
The Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) in Calgary helps families who have children with developmental, physical, sensory, mental, or neurological disabilities. Our FSCD coordinator connects families to the best services, including group homes and funding support.
The Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) program in Calgary supports adults with developmental disabilities to access residential services. PDD funding helps Calgary residents live in Entrust group homes and develop essential life skills including housekeeping, social interaction, personal care, decision-making, and safety awareness.
The Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) program helps Calgary adults with permanent medical conditions get income support. AISH funding covers group home care in Calgary, and residents can submit one application for both AISH and PDD programs.
We create homes for our clients that make them feel safe and among a community of friends and family.
In Calgary, each Entrust home houses up to 3 residents. We match new residents based on their shared interests and needs. This matching process helps residents save money on living costs and share support staff. Many residents in our group homes have formed lasting friendships with their housemates.
Each person has their own unique needs. Our Calgary team creates a personal Wellness Support Plan during the first behavioral consultation. This plan includes important information about daily routines, behaviors, and what causes stress. We use this plan to help each person grow and enjoy their life fully.
Taking care of others is hard work. In Calgary, our Wellness Plans help families, caregivers, and teachers get the support they need. Our team creates flexible strategies that help everyone live more independently.
Our team understands that good care starts with knowing each person’s specific needs. We use behavioural consultations to learn these needs, create personal wellness plans, and build daily routines that work for each individual.
Entrust’s qualified experts conduct behavioural consultations in our office or through video calls, with supervision from a registered psychologist. Your specialist meets with the client and important people in their lives to ensure they receive the best support possible.
In our Group Homes for Disabled Youth, children receive top-quality personal care. Each child goes through a careful matching process to find the right home. We work with teachers, counsellors, and caregivers to help children succeed both in their Entrust home and in the community.
Our Group Homes for Adults with Disabilities go beyond basic care. Residents can join Community Access Supports in Calgary. This program helps adults build relationships, find jobs, and set personal goals to become more independent.

Our son is having a fantastic experience. He enjoys living in residential care. He texts us daily telling us how happy he is in his new home, and what activities he is doing. The communication I receive weekly from Entrust reflects what my son tells us.

Entrust has been there not only for Allison but for me as well. They assured me that she would be safe and that they would help in her life’s journey. Their staff keeps me up to date with weekly reports so I am still involved. Entrust and their staff truly care for my daughter and her well-being on all levels.
For over 25 years, Entrust’s Calgary group homes have provided residential care for people with developmental disabilities and complex behavioural needs. Our homes are in welcoming neighbourhoods to help residents feel part of their community. While we don’t provide the locations of our group homes for the confidentiality and privacy of our clients, you can visit us at our Calgary office.

Learn More about Environmental Interventions: Our Proactive ApproachIn Calgary, group home funding is determined by three key factors:
Government funding through AISH and PDD covers most costs for Alberta residents, but amounts vary by person. Connect with your local social worker to understand your specific funding options.
In Calgary, group home eligibility depends on:
Your age
Type of disability
Support needs
Individual care requirements
People with developmental disabilities or mental health needs can qualify for group homes. Our team works with healthcare providers and caseworkers to assess each person’s eligibility and create a care plan.
In Calgary’s group homes, success depends on three key matches:
Resident needs align with available services
Staff have expertise in specific disabilities
Home environment supports personal goals
Entrust’s group homes provide structured support that helps residents grow skills and independence while being part of their community.
In Calgary, Entrust offers flexible group home options that match each person’s needs. Some residents stay in our group homes for a short time while learning skills or preparing for different housing. Other residents make our homes their permanent place in the community, receiving ongoing support and care. The length of stay depends on each person’s goals and the level of independence they want to achieve in a supportive environment.
In Calgary, Entrust group homes follow strict safety standards set by Alberta Health Services. Our staff complete extensive safety training and follow clear protocols to protect residents. We maintain security systems, emergency procedures, and regular safety checks at all locations. Each home undergoes periodic government inspections to ensure quality care standards are met and maintained.
In Calgary, Entrust group homes provide different care levels based on each resident’s needs:
Supported Living offers basic supervision for more independent residents. Comprehensive Care provides 24-hour support for those needing intensive assistance. Our staffing levels and specialized services match each person’s medical, behavioural, and developmental requirements.
The level of care covered by funding depends on your program assessment. Your caseworker and disability support worker can explain your specific coverage and options.
