Connecting Care
Company Overview
As visionary planners, skillful designers, compassionate managers, and caring operators of quality senior living communities throughout Western Canada, Connecting Care provides leading professional services and complete, holistic care for the entire senior living spectrum.
Company History
Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Connecting Care is the largest senior living provider in the province. Ours is the business of aging; and in the connecting of care with knowledge, wisdom, opportunity, action and adventure, we play a skilled senior role. Working in collaboration with investors and community stakeholders to provide the planning and integration of crucial services, our intent is to help reduce your responsibilities and workload.
We’ll entrust your funding and secure your futures with unparalleled expertise and a truly technologically innovative and integrated approach to management, operations and care, while meeting the growing needs of your community or region, and enhancing the mental, social, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of its aging population.
We’ll be here when you need us with full support of the entire senior living spectrum, from independent, supportive and assisted living to lodge, long-term care, nursing care, rehabilitation, recreation, medication, specialty services and hospice.
What sets us apart: The Eden Alternative Philosophy
To work with and for Connecting Care is to live by the Eden Alternative Philosophy and the preservation of dignity, honour, respect, variety and freedom of choice. We firmly believe that whether making a living or making a life, we all belong here.
Modern seniors refuse to be tied down by rules and boxed in by mental, physical and social obstacles. They want to not just exist but to flourish. Not to grasp for support, but rather to extend a helping hand. Our seniors want to pass down their collective teachings, history and wisdom through open and honest communication, and in doing so, they want to feel heard and valued. They want a say in their future, and they desire freedom of choice for all the days to come.
And with each new day comes the thrill of hope; ripe with the promise and anticipation of endless opportunity for fun and adventure.
