A little more help with meals. A place close to the grandkids. Care nearby when the house is no longer enough.
That’s what seniors housing and continuing care are for, and Alberta is building a lot more of both.
Your United Conservative government is investing $250 million to expand seniors housing, upgrade existing lodges and increase continuing care, so more seniors can stay in their communities.
This will build and upgrade 850 affordable homes for seniors. That includes $200 million for 550 new continuing care spaces, and $50 million to build or upgrade 300 lodge spaces.
Continuing care homes provide accommodation, personal support and health care when needs can no longer be met at home. This is part of the largest continuing care expansion in Alberta’s history.
Seniors lodges offer affordable accommodation, meals, housekeeping and other daily supports, so older Albertans can keep their independence and stay connected to their communities.
Alberta is home to 890,000 seniors today, and that number is expected to exceed one million by 2034. Building new spaces and renewing aging lodges will help communities meet those changing needs.
More homes, more care, closer to family. That’s your United Conservative government getting the job done.
