Supportive Living (SL-4)

Supportive Living allows individuals to enjoy a home-like setting with the comfort of having health care services provided. It is a great option for individuals who may have medical needs that can be managed to maintain a semi-independent lifestyle.

We have 36 Supportive Living (SL-4) units at Shepherd’s Care Vanguard. Admission to Supportive Living is only through a health assessment by Alberta Health Services. Residents pay a government regulated accommodation charge, which covers room and board (three meals per day plus snacks), housekeeping, linen and bedding laundry and some building maintenance costs.

Each unit at Vanguard is private accommodation and are built with easy accessibility and barrier free washrooms.

Pastoral care is available to all residents, including weekly interdenominational church services in our on-site chapel, and hymn sings.
