The Oldest Person in Canada lives at Valleyview

Our own resident Cora Hansen, is 113 years old and lives at Valleyview Care Centre, Medicine Hat, Alberta.  Cora is the confirmed oldest person in Canada now. She was at one time the oldest person in Alberta, but now she is the oldest living Canadian.

Born in Minnesota to parents from Norway, she arrived before there was motorized cars, manned air flight and so much more. She has lived a good life "I didn't drink, or anything like that. I lived a plain life" said Hansen when interviewed by the Medicine Hat News recently. We are so blessed to know you Cora!

Accreditation Awarded

Accreditation Canada is an independent group responsible for the national review and accreditation of senior care facilities across Canada. Organizations and communities will only be awarded their Accreditation Seal if they have successfully implemented all the required organizational practices and have a clear commitment to safety.

Surveyors from Accreditation Canada reviewed all AgeCare communities in Alberta and British Columbia in the fall of 2010.  They reviewed documents, observed staff and care practices, interviewed key stakeholders and community partners.  From this process, results are then shared with AgeCare. 

Rare Accreditation Citation given to AgeCare

We are proud to announce, Accreditation Canada recognized AgeCare for our industry-leading practices, a rare citation.  AgeCare and our staff have been recognized for their exemplary and innovative implementation of the new Alberta Health Services - Supportive Living Program at Sunrise Gardens, Brooks, Alberta. 

Additionally, we were cited for our ability to work in partnership with our community and regional healthcare partners to provide the seamless delivery of care and services. 

AgeCare continues to look for further opportunities and ways to promote excellence within our organization.
