Retirement Living

Retirement Living in Lethbridge

The unique design of the community provides a “campus of care” that enables aging in place as your needs change. Your level of care may be accommodated by moving you within the community from our Retirement Living neighbourhood to our Supportive Living neighbourhood.

At AgeCare Columbia we believe in offering you as many retirement living options as possible for worry-free living in a friendly, caring, safe and secure environment. The unique design of the community lends itself to an intimate and welcoming retirement lifestyle.

AgeCare Columbia has recently been named one of the TOP 3 Retirement Homes in Lethbridge. At AgeCare Columbia, we believe seniors are entitled to live as independently as possible. That’s why we offer quality and professional services designed to help maintain independence and lead a rich, rewarding life.

Type of Community: Long-Term Care, Supportive Living, Retirement Living, Adult Day Program

Services

Long-Term Care

A home-like setting for individuals with complex, unpredictable medical needs who are unable to remain at home or in a Supportive Living setting. A Registered Nurse Care Leader oversees all elements of resident care. They lead an interdisciplinary team that include Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Heath Care Aides (HCAs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), Physio Therapists (PTs), Recreational Therapists (RTs), and Social Workers.

Supportive Living

(SL3 or SL4): A home-like setting for individuals who are unable to thrive in their own home. They require personal supports such as meals, housekeeping, laundry, recreation and social activities. An Alberta Health Services (AHS) Case Manager oversees all resident care and care plans. Supportive Living is appropriate for people whose health care needs are predictable and can be scheduled. In SL3 Health Care Aides (HCAs) are on-site 24 hours a day to provide support, scheduled personal care, and medication assistance. The HCAs report to a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or a Registered Nurse (RN), who are on-site periodically, but not all the time. In SL4 a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)and Health Care Aides(HCAs)are on-site 24 hours a day to provide support, scheduled personal care, and manage medications.
