Day Program
The Clearwater Centre offers seniors multiple levels of support and the opportunity to age in place through five distinct program areas.
Clearwater Centre includes 30 private long term care suites, each with a private bathroom and wheelchair accessible shower. Furnishings provided include a hospital style bed, night table, dresser and side chair. Residents are encouraged to bring some of their own belongings to personalize their room.
Admissions are coordinated through Alberta Health Services (403) 845-3009.
The dementia care cottage is a unique 10 room duplex designed to create a home-like setting for up to ten dementia clients in continuing care. Each side of the duplex has 5 bedrooms, living room with fireplace, kitchen, and secure access to the fenced yard. Residents are included in the events that they are accustomed and able.
The care component of the dementia care program is based more on a social rather than a medical model of care. Personal autonomy and competencies are emphasized. Residents can participate in daily activities associated with a home-like environment. These kinds of opportunities are difficult, if not impossible, to offer in large care centres.
Key elements of this model of care are:
- Creation of a familiar, home-like environment
- Combining privacy of accommodation with the security of around-the-clock staffing
- Use of familiar household routines for resident activities
- Staff serve as role models to engage residents in activities
Admissions are coordinated through Alberta Health Services.
The Designated Supportive Living Program consists of 30 suites (28 one-bedroom suites and 2 two-bedroom suites) and offers residents the flexibility to prepare their breakfast and lunch in their own suite, if they choose. Residents pay rent, which includes their daily supper meal, housekeeping and linen service and TeleCare® emergency response system. Optional services include breakfast, lunch, personal laundry service and cable TV.
Applications for admission are coordinated through the Alberta Health Services Home Care Program (403) 845-3009.
Clearwater Centre also has 12 Independent Living Apartments (8 one-bedroom and 4 two-bedroom units). Each suite has its own kitchen, a spacious three-piece bathroom including a wheelchair accessible shower, ample storage, and large bright windows. Tenants furnish their suites to suit their personal tastes and lifestyles. Optional services include meals, housekeeping, laundry and parking. Apartments are available to all seniors.
For more information contact Clearwater Centre at (403) 845-6033.

Enrolment into the program is by referral from Alberta Health Services Home Care. Services include daytime caregiver respite, personal care assistance, bathing, social/recreational activities and health promotion and monitoring. Participants will be served a hot meal at lunchtime.
