Costs Paid by the Program
Alberta Aids to Daily Living (AADL) is a cost-share program. You pay 25 per cent of the cost of program benefits, up to a maximum of $500 per family per benefit year (July 1 to June 30).
For some benefits, you may choose an upgraded item and you pay the additional cost of this item. These additional costs are not included in the $500 cost-share maximum.
Cost-Share Exemption
Low-income Albertans may be exempt from the $500 cost-share.
You can apply for a cost-share exemption from AADL directly with the 
cost-share exemption form.
Contact AADL directly if you receive assistance from:
- Alberta Widows' Pension
- Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH)
- Alberta Works Health Benefits
If you are not exempt from cost-sharing, but feel that cost-sharing will cause you financial hardship, you may appeal.
