    About Assisted Living in Alberta

    As everyday tasks become more difficult, assisted living—known in Alberta as Continuing Care Home Type B—provides the right level of support to help seniors live well and with dignity. This lifestyle is intended for older adults who would benefit from regular assistance with daily routines, such as bathing, dressing, or medication reminders, while still enjoying a vibrant and engaging retirement experience.

    In Alberta, assisted living care services are publicly funded, assessed, and coordinated by Alberta Health Services (AHS). If you qualify, your care is delivered by Chartwell’s experienced and friendly on-site staff in the comfort and privacy of your suite. Our residences also offer wholesome dining, enriching activities, and a strong sense of community, making it easier to feel at home while receiving the care you need.

    What To Consider When Finding an Assisted Living Residence

    Choosing an assisted living community (Continuing Care Home Type B) in Alberta is a meaningful decision, and there are a few important things worth considering to help you or your loved one feel confident and comfortable with the choice.

    How Much Does Assisted Living in Alberta Cost?

    In Alberta, assisted living services under the Continuing Care Home Type B model are publicly funded and coordinated by Alberta Health Services (AHS). If you or your loved one qualifies through an AHS assessment, your care services—such as personal support, medication management, and health monitoring—and accommodations are funded by the province. However, there may be extra costs associated with services you’ve added onto your package. Chartwell’s Retirement Living Consultants can walk you through the process and help you understand any financial supports that may be available to ease the transition.

    Is There a Waitlist for Assisted Living in Alberta?

    With the rising demand for assisted living communities (Continuing Care Home Type B), some Alberta residences may have waitlists. It’s a good idea to ask about the waitlist policies during your initial visit, as each community may have different procedures. If there is a waitlist, you might consider temporary options, like respite care, to provide immediate support while waiting for a permanent spot to become available.
