Government Support for Designated Supportive Living And Long-Term Care
All of our designated supportive living and long-term care suites are government subsidized, where the costs of care and accommodation are partially funded by Alberta Health Services and partially funded by the resident. To qualify for residency, seniors must complete an assessment with Alberta Health Services and, if qualified, are then placed on a wait list for available space. The rates paid by residents are set by AHS province-wide and subsidies may be available for eligible residents. Learn more about how you can benefit from the Senior’s Financial Assistance Program offered by the Government of Alberta.
Please contact AHS Calgary zone central intake at 403-943-1920. The Community Care Access line is open 7 days a week.
