We talk constantly about care quality. Resident experience. Quality of life scores. But we rarely ask: how is the caregiver doing?
Alberta's own research shows that for every $1 invested in caregiver support, the return is $11 in value — through fewer avoidable disruptions, lower turnover, increased productivity, and improved quality of life.
The Crisis in Numbers
In Alberta, 400,000 unpaid caregivers provide over 200 million hours of care every year — fulfilling 70 to 75% of the support their loved ones need. Many dedicate over 115 hours a week.
The WellArc™ Solution
That's why we built WellArc™ — Medi-Aide's proprietary workforce wellbeing layer. Unlike generic wellness apps, WellArc™ is purpose-built for shift-based care work. It transforms daily check-ins, optional wearable signals, and work-pattern assessments into explainable support signals: Strain Now, Recovery Capacity, Compassion Load, and Work Fit. When pressure patterns change, WellArc™ helps surface timely, shift-aware support without becoming a clinical tool.
