There is No ‘One-size-fits-all’ Solution
Every senior’s journey is unique — because every person is unique. We’ve had the privilege of supporting clients from 55 to 105, each with different lifestyles, health needs, mobility levels, and hopes for the future. We’ve helped active 90-year-olds transition into vibrant condo living, and we’ve guided 70-year-olds and their families as they explore supportive and memory care communities.
Our role is to help you understand the full range of senior living options available and to walk alongside you as you determine what will best support your comfort, safety, independence, and quality of life – for now and into the future. Whether you’re downsizing, seeking additional support, or moving closer to family, we’re here to help you find the solution that fits you.
It’s also important to consider whether renting or owning makes the most sense for your stage of life and financial picture. In collaboration with your financial advisor, we can help you explore both options and support you every step of the way.

Navigating Care Options
If you or your loved one may benefit from additional care now or in the near future, it’s important to explore your options early. The health care options that are needed could affect your housing choices and if you are looking to the government subsidized model of any of these choices, you will require an assessment.
Home Care
People that need a little support with their daily living can often live independently with home care coming in to support them.
The home care provider might be subsidized through the government, or you can choose to pay privately for the support.
In Supportive Living residences, the resident will typically receive their care from staff that work on site, offering a continuum of care from staff you know. A lot of retirement residences offer Supportive Living within their Independent Living buildings.
Continuing Care: Type B
24-hour a day personal care provided by nurses and health care aides. Case management and specialty services are
available on a scheduled
onsite, on-call or virtual basis based on resident’s care needs.
The buildings are specifically designed with common areas and features, including private
space and a safe, secure and barrier-free environment. Type
B accommodations will also provide services such as meals, housekeeping, and recreational activities.

Continuing Care: Type B Secure Space
Sometimes referred to as
 ‘Memory Care’, these are
secure spaces with programs specifically designed to enhance quality of life for folks
living with dementia.
Elevated, private pay Memory Care experiences are also offered in Edmonton. They can
be costly, but they are typically exceptional experiences with
highly trained staff specializing in dementia care. These programs are designed to ensure its residents have a good day, every day.
Continuing Care: Type A
Formerly known as ‘long-term care’ this level of care is typically for individuals with really complex care needs or in advanced stages of dementia. The buildings tend to feel a little more clinical in nature. There is 24-hour care, housekeeping, recreational programming and meals provided.
It is often subsidized by Alberta Health Services, but the waitlists are long. If you have the resources, there are a few exceptional private pay options available in the Edmonton area.
