Frequently Asked Questions
How much does assisted living cost in Edmonton?
Our Continuing Care Home Type B (assisted living) suites—which are subsidized by Alberta Health Services (AHS)—have two cost components. While AHS funds your care services and subsidizes the cost of your suite if you are eligible for the program following an assessment, residents still pay an accommodation fee and for additional services as applicable. Therefore, price can vary according to suite size/layout and service package. Our Retirement Living Consultants would be pleased to walk you through your options for a more personalized quote.
How do I know if I or a loved one are ready for assisted living?
It may be time to consider assisted living if you or a loved would benefit from daily support and access to care services to live in comfort and with the quality of life you deserve. This includes seniors managing light-to-moderate care needs, mobility challenges, or mild cognitive impairment.
Who is eligible for Assisted Living?
Eligibility for Continuing Care Home Type B (assisted living) in Alberta is assessed, coordinated and funded by Alberta Health Services (AHS). If you or your loved one is experiencing health or mobility challenges, a Case Manager from AHS will complete a healthcare needs assessment to confirm whether assisted living is the appropriate level of care for you.
What is staff support like for assisted living?
Residents receiving assisted living services will have access to on-site health care aides 24 hours a day to provide for their support and personal care needs, as well as professional nursing care by a licensed practical nurse. In addition to our other non-registered staff like our friendly dietary servers and housekeepers, you may have access to other professionals delivering rehabilitation or nursing care as coordinated by your Alberta Health Services Case Manager.

Yes! We encourage new residents to create a space that reflects their personality and style.
