Independent Living in Calgary & Area

What is Independent Living?

Independent living commonly includes a private suite, meals, housekeeping, maintenance, activities and shared amenities. Residents generally manage personal care independently. Ask each Alberta community what is included, whether additional support can be purchased and how it responds if needs change.

Who may benefit?

Suitability depends on the person’s health, safety, independence, preferences, support network and budget. Discuss changing needs with the person, appropriate healthcare professionals and prospective Calgary-area providers. Tour communities and ask how they handle emergencies and future care requirements.

What does it cost in Calgary & Area?

Costs depend on the Alberta municipality, suite type, meals, amenities and support required. Request a written breakdown of the base fee, care charges, deposits and optional services. Compare the total expected monthly cost rather than only the advertised starting price.
