Calgary Seniors Home Services

Nearly 200 skilled and caring staff work at The Beverly Centre Lake Midnapore to ensure the highest level of care and wellness services are provided to each of our residents, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Care & Life Enrichment Services

The Nursing Department at The Beverly Centre provides professional and personal care designed to meet the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of our residents on a 24-hour basis. Our Care Teams work in coordination with other professionals within the centre such as our Physiotherapist, Recreation Therapist, Social Work Coordinator and Dietitian. This coordination creates an individualized plan of care for each resident that reflects the goals and input of the resident, their family members and physicians.

Upon admission to The Beverly Centre, a resident may continue to receive medical care from their own physician or may opt to have their care supervised by our Medical Site Leader until a physician of choice is selected. For residents without a designated physician, The Beverly Centre maintains a short list of physicians who have agreed to take care of new patients.

The Beverly Centre provides residents with three nourishing meals a day plus snacks and refreshments each morning, afternoon and evening. Upon admission and then at regular intervals throughout the year, each resident is assessed by a Registered Dietitian for special dietary requirements and food preferences to ensure that our meal service satisfies their individual needs. Family members are always welcome to join their loved one for a meal and may purchase an individual meal ticket from our Receptionist. Private dining for special occasions can be served in our Family Dining Room and can be arranged with either a catered menu or our regular meal service.

Our Recreation Therapy Department creates stimulating, leisure programming tailored to our residents’ needs and capabilities. Through these programs, residents continue to pursue leisure interests, develop new skills, enhance their self-esteem and build rewarding relationships with other residents, staff and volunteers.

Physiotherapy/Rehabilitation

The Beverly Centre employs a licensed Physiotherapist along with Therapy Aides to maximize resident movement and function. Exercise programs are individually designed to maintain or improve mobility where needed. The Physiotherapist provides a vital link with community clinics and health care agencies to augment our in-house services as each resident’s care requires.

Social Work Services

Upon arrival at The Beverly Centre, residents and their families meet with our Social Work Coordinator to become acquainted and share the resident’s history and family network. Our Social Work Coordinator is available on an ongoing basis to assist residents and families through their adjustment to continuing care and other important life issues.

Medication & Pharmacy Services

The Nursing Department is responsible for obtaining medication orders from the admitting physician and for administering medications to the residents as directed by the physician. Medications and pharmacy services are provided by a dedicated pharmacy that works closely with our health care team to meet our residents’ needs.

Religious & Spiritual Care

The Beverly Centre provides a variety of religious services and spiritual programs led by clergy from the community to meet the needs of our broad and multi-cultural resident population. Special services are held to commemorate many national holidays such as Remembrance Day and involve members of the Calgary community from young children to dignitaries to senior war veterans. Memorial Services are held periodically at The Beverly Centre and are open to residents, family and staff as a tribute to residents who have passed away.

The Beverly Centre actively recruits, screens and trains volunteers from the community to participate in various daily activities throughout the centre. Volunteer involvement maximizes support for our residents, encourages connections between our seniors and their community and enriches the lives of all involved.
