Subsidized does not mean free.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0\">In Alberta, long-term care and some designated supportive living programs are partially subsidized through Alberta Health Services. Residents still pay an accommodation rate. That rate is regulated and based on room type, not income. Medical and nursing care is covered. Personal items, hairdressing, cable, and other extras are not.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0\">Supportive living level 4 (SL4) programs may have a publicly funded component for care, but housing and hospitality fees remain the resident\u2019s responsibility. Availability is limited and placement requires an AHS Continuing Care assessment, where a case manager determines eligibility and level of need before placement can occur.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0\">There is no fully government-funded assisted living option in Calgary where families pay nothing. Even in public long-term care, the resident contribution typically falls between $1,800 and $2,500 per month depending on room type.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#5b6473\">If someone tells you a suite is subsidized, ask what portion is covered and what the monthly resident contribution will be.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<hr style=\"border:none;border-top:1px solid #eef1f7;margin:28px 0\" \/>\n<p>    <!-- REALITY CHECK SECTION --><\/p>\n<section style=\"margin:0 0 34px 0;background:#fbfcff;border:1px solid #edf1f7;border-radius:16px;padding:18px\">\n<h2 style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:22px;font-weight:950;text-transform:uppercase\">REAL-LIFE BUDGET EXAMPLE<\/h2>\n<div style=\"width:80px;height:5px;background:#6b4ce6;border-radius:999px;margin:0 0 16px 0\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0\">Example: Assisted living at $5,200 per month + $300 medication management + $100 laundry = $5,600 monthly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">That equals $67,200 per year.
