System Reality

Jenn Thompson is caring for both her child and her mother — while navigating a system with no coordinated support.

These are real, out-of-pocket costs:

• $15,000 legal fees (upcoming case conference)
• $120/month for 2 years for essential supplements
• $4,800+ paid personally for dentures
• Ongoing credit card debt and interest
• $1,000+ in interest in the last year alone

For two years, Jenn covered essential care costs herself while navigating delays, conflict, and system gaps. Now, those costs are compounding.

At the same time:

• Care needs are increasing
• Support is not
• The system is not coordinating any of it

The caregiver becomes the system.

Mason Standard of Care™ — Formal Framework Overview

This framework was developed based on longitudinal system evidence and real-world coordination across disability, health, and housing systems.

It defines the minimum conditions required to ensure care is stable, aligned, and responsive — before crisis occurs.

This is not a program. It is a system-level standard.

Full framework and implementation model available for policy briefing.

Alberta approved the funding.
Families are still waiting.

• Funding increased +34%
• Families served increased only +21.7%
• Thousands remain approved—but uncontracted

This is not a funding problem.
It is a delivery gap.

Auditor General findings (2022 link & 2025 link ) confirm:
Families are being deemed eligible—then left waiting years for actual support.

Fragmented systems with no coordination Source

When that caregiver is gone Source
there is often nothing ready to replace them.

This is the continuity of care gap — not future, current Source
