Needing Continuing Care

Alberta's continuing care system provides Albertans with the health, personal care and accommodation services they need to support their independence and quality of life. A number of options are available based on a person's needs, which a health care professional can assist in evaluating. The options are available in three streams: home living, supportive living and facility living. Each stream can provide clients with a broad range of health and personal care, accommodation and hospitality services. This page will link you to these resources, as well as to some from the federal government and other related organizations.
