In Alberta, there are many types of retirement homes. There are for-profit and non-profit homes, independent living, assisted living, nursing care, and palliative care. You can choose to live on a life lease or in a full-service retirement residence. The services provided in these facilities may include specialized staff and chapels. All residences are fully licensed and have trained staff who are on-call to respond to emergency situations.
There are many types of retirement facilities in Calgary. Some of them are private or have a small group of residents. Others are located in the city's suburbs. While some of them may not provide the services that assisted living and nursing homes can provide, they are still well worth considering. The best way to find one that meets your needs is to ask questions of staff. They will have an extensive knowledge of the local area.
Many retirement homes provide transportation to and from appointments and events. Others may offer group outings. Most homes have parking reserved for residents who drive. In addition, most parks and shopping centers are within walking distance. Some residences have designated bike lanes. And the downtown core has the largest indoor walking bridge network in Canada, the “Plus 15” network. So if you are interested in finding a retirement home in Calgary, it might be time to do some math.
