Respite Care (also known as ‘Short Term Care’) is a temporary form of support for individuals and their caregivers. Respite Care may be for just a few days, or longer periods, depending on the needs of the person and the needs of their caregiver.
We offer Respite Care within a Long Term Care setting and provide publicly-funded respite care that can be accessed through Alberta Health Services Continuing Care. Residents admitted into continuing care facilities are required to pay Accommodation Fees (room and board and other associated costs) as set by the government.
Our seniors care facilities offer the convenience of many on-site amenities and services. Recreational programs provide seniors the opportunity to connect with peers and participate in social activities and holiday gatherings. Other services available include on-site hair and barber salon, daily meals, and basic housekeeping and laundry services.
