Services
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.

Adult day program
Enriching the lives of seniors living at home
We all benefit greatly from staying active, being intellectually stimulated and socially connected. AgeCare Sunrise Garden’s Adult Day Support Program provides health, social and recreational support for seniors and needed respite for caregivers.
The day program has really taken a lot of stress off my mind. My mom really wants to stay in her home and wants her independence, but without the day program she doesn’t go out unless we take her, and she has very little interaction with others.

Grandfriends Program
Children and seniors informing and enriching each other
Unique to AgeCare Sunrise Gardens is our inter-generational Grandfriends program, which brings residents together with schoolchildren from the adjacent Lion King Day Care. This rare and enriching partnership allows our seniors to mingle and interact regularly with the Lion King children and to enjoy a fulfilling array of programming that benefits all participants. Aptly named the “Grandfriends Program,” this blending of generations in a shared environment brings the joy of youth and optimism to our seniors and imparts the wisdom and history of our seniors to the Lion King children.
