About Us
When a person is diagnosed with a life limiting illness, it is their unpaid caregivers, family-spouse-friend, that are the everyday champions who graciously support them through this life transition.
Caregiver Transition Supports (CTS) is a palliative-focused, resource-rich service that provides relief to unpaid caregivers. We do this by accessing resources and coordinating quality-of-life supports including end-of-life planning through our trusted partnerships with non-profit and for-profit providers.
Our goal is to provide relief to caregivers—spouses, family members, and friends—to regain balance, reduce stress, and find moments of peace while continuing to provide care during one of life’s most important transitions.
Why CTS?
In Alberta, a 2018 survey identified nearly one million unpaid caregivers—
approximately one in four spouses, family members, or friends—who
provide a minimum of nine hours per week supporting someone in need
(*Caregivers Alberta, 2018). Today, that number is estimated to exceed one
million Albertans.
For many caregivers, where to start managing responsibilities can become emotionally and
physically overwhelming as they navigate the complexities of a life-limiting
illness affecting the person in their care.
Caregiver Transition Supports (CTS) is a resource-rich
hub that provides compassionate relief to unpaid caregivers. We do this
by partnering with non-profit and for profit partners to access resources for supporting life transitions, coordinating daily care logistics, and offering conversation and companionship along the caregiving journey.
Our services are thoughtfully designed to complement—not replace—the
essential care provided by families, healthcare professionals, and
community service providers.
