Alberta Memory Care Residences
About Memory Care in Alberta
Memory care in Alberta is provided through both publicly funded and private-pay models. Most Chartwell residences in the province offer memory care services through our partnership with Assisted Living Alberta (ALA) to deliver care under the Continuing Care Home Type B Secure model, where residents are assessed, coordinated, and funded by ALA but receive services from our dedicated on-site teams.
In addition, select residences offer private-pay memory care services, such as our Memory Living neighbourhood at Chartwell Wescott, which provides specialized programming and a dedicated Memory Living Manager in a secure setting. Our approach emphasizes person-centred care, with daily routines designed to support everyone's health, comfort, and sense of identity.
Residents may receive help with tasks such as dressing, bathing, medication administration, and mobility support. Just as importantly, our compassionate staff get to know each person’s unique story, helping foster a sense of familiarity, trust, and emotional connection in a safe and welcoming environment.

Choosing a Memory Care Residence in Alberta
Choosing a memory care residence is a significant decision—and we’re here to help families feel supported and informed. Here are some factors to keep in mind:
How Much Does Memory Care in Alberta Cost?
Memory care costs in Alberta depend on the type of residence and whether care is publicly funded through Assisted Living Alberta or offered as private pay. In ALA-funded residences, residents care services are assessed, coordinated and funded by ALA.
Private-pay residences, such as those offering Memory Living, may include all-inclusive pricing or à la carte services for added support. These models allow families to tailor care and lifestyle features to their preferences. Our team is available to help families understand their options and what’s included in each pricing model.
