Care built around the person receiving it
ABCare supports adults through the Nova Scotia Disability Support Program, provides home care for families across Halifax, and supplies qualified staff to facilities that need them.

Three ways we work
Disability Support Program
Government-funded support for adults with disabilities, delivered under our provincial contract.
- Both funding routes: managed by you, or managed by us
- Daily living, health, and community supports
- Respite, skills development, and housing support
Home Care
Private in-home support for individuals and families, arranged around the household it happens in.
- Personal care, nursing support, and dementia care
- Companionship, errands, and help around the house
- Hospice and end-of-life care at home
Facility Staffing
Care professionals for hospitals, long-term care homes, and community organizations.
- Short-term and shift coverage
- Long-term placements where continuity matters
- Urgent call-outs and after-hours gaps
Why families and facilities choose ABCare
Someone to reach, around the clock
Our helpline is staffed 24 hours. Support needs do not keep office hours and neither does the phone.
Staff matched to the person
We match support workers to the person they will be working with, not to the next open shift.
A case manager who meets you
You have one case manager who meets you one to one, and stays the same person as things change.
Support that can change
When circumstances shift, the plan shifts with them. You do not start the process over.
Confidential
What you tell us stays between you, the people you choose to involve, and the people providing your support.
Accountable
Everyone working with you answers to your case manager, and you can raise anything with them directly.

How we work
We talk it through
A conversation at home or on the phone about what support is actually needed, and what is already working.
We write a plan with you
A support plan built around the person, their routine, and the people already involved.
We match the right staff
We introduce support workers suited to the person and the work, and you meet them before they start.
We stay involved
Your case manager keeps in touch, and adjusts the plan as needs change.
What people tell us
You far exceeded our expectations in meeting the special needs of our father.
Your people have been an enormous help in getting her house work done, making sure she's comfortable and fed.
The young lady you send is cheerful, friendly, and works hard to get all the housework done that I need.
Build a career that matters
We are always looking for support workers, nurses, and care professionals who want the time to do the job properly.
Talk to someone about what you need
Tell us the situation and we will tell you plainly whether we can help, and what happens next.
