Assisted Living Alberta (ALA)

As the new provincial continuing care agency, Assisted Living Alberta will ensure that all Albertans can access the care they need, when and where they need it, regardless of age, diagnosis, or duration of need.

Assisted Living Alberta (ALA) will provide Albertans with a comprehensive, holistic system of care with a full range of wrap-around services, including:

  • medical and non-medical supports,
  • home care,
  • community care,
  • social services, and
  • continuing care homes.

By taking this new approach, individuals and families will have more options when they need care and as their needs evolve. ALA is focused on delivering care more effectively and consistently across the province by enhancing home and community services, expediting spaces in supportive living environments and continuing care homes, and making sure Albertans and their caregivers are well-informed.

Assisted Living Alberta will become operational in the fall of 2025.

For Albertans

Assisted Living Alberta will support Albertans to live and age well in their homes, communities and the settings that best meet their needs. The transition of services to Assisted Living Alberta will enhance existing supports and programs and will not interrupt the important services people rely on.

For healthcare professionals

Healthcare professionals and those working in home care and community care are helping to shape the new provincial health agency through consultations and round tables.

”Assisted Living Alberta officially launched on April 1, 2025 and my immediate focus is to operationalize ALA and lay the groundwork for its initial activities.” Read full message
