Retirement Communities
Independent living and retirement residences across Alberta
Retirement communities offer independent or lightly-supported living for Alberta seniors who want to downsize and enjoy meals, activities, and amenities without the upkeep of a house. They range from rental independent-living residences to communities that add supportive services as needs grow. Most are private-pay; touring in person is the best way to find the right fit.
