Care Options

Our apartments have an emergency call system, but no regular care services are provided.

The Seasons Embrace Today ® memory care philosophy is integral to Continuing Care Home Type B - Secure Space care in a Seasons residence. This philosophy requires a deep understanding of who our residents are so that staff may adjust their interactions and respond with whatever is needed at the moment. Each of our trained service team members commits to approaching the workday with a promise to do their best to make all interactions positive and meaningful, one moment at a time.
The Seasons Approach To Care that we can have proactive and discreet conversations with them and their families about their health and wellbeing. "Our residents are never alone in the process,
At Seasons, we believe in a flexible approach to care that supports our residents' preferences. We understand that our residents are individuals at different stages of life and that the support they need today may change in the future. Before moving in, new residents will have their needs assessed by a medical professional, including questions about the resident's health, ability to perform daily living tasks, and risk for falls. Based on the assessment results, we will recommend the best approach for care that is most appropriate. For peace of mind, Seasons' service team members are trained to notice even the smallest changes in a resident's routine so
so there's no need to worry. We are here to help every step of the way, from the initial conversation to suggesting alternative care options to monitoring how residents adapt to their new regimen," says Brenda D'Alimonte, Senior Director of Care Services. Effective April 1, 2024, Alberta Health has crafted a new legislative framework, which includes the Continuing Care Act. Lodges or Retirement Communities such as Seasons will fall under the Home and Community Care umbrella, which includes support with daily living, among other services. To better understand how new terminology compares to the past, we have included both the old and new descriptions.
