Overview
The Assisted Living Navigation Portal is an online tool that helps Albertans and their families to find and compare continuing care homes and other assisted living care options in the province. By answering a short questionnaire or typing a location into the tool’s search bar you will be provided with clear and easy to read information about home and community care, palliative and end-of-life care, caregiver supports, and how to access services.
Features
The tool features:
- A guided questionnaire that helps you understand which care and support options may meet your needs and what steps to take next
- Information about home and community care services and supports that can help you remain independent at home and in your community
- Information about continuing care homes, including the different types of care available and how to access them
- A searchable map and directory to help you find and compare continuing care homes
- Information and guidance about palliative and end-of-life care, caregiver supports, accessing continuing care, and other helpful resources
You can also expect to find fees, potential availability, number of licensed spaces, and contact information for supportive living accommodations. Some spaces can be accessed directly by contacting the site while others can only be accessed following an assessment.
The portal will continue to expand over time, adding new information, and features to help Albertans find the right care and support options. Future updates will include information on social services, self-care and prevention, and community supports resources.
Home and community care
Home and community care provides health and personal care services that can help people remain safe and independent at home or in their community. Services are based on a person's needs and may include nursing, personal care, rehabilitation or other supports. Use the Assisted Living Navigation Portal to learn about home and community care, how to access services and what your next steps may be.
