Public long-term care and home care for Coaldale residents

Public continuing care in Alberta — covering home care, designated supportive living and long-term care — starts with an assessment through the provincial continuing care intake. Any Albertan can call Health Link at 8-1-1 to begin that process; a registered nurse can arrange the assessment and no referral is required, and someone can call on a relative's behalf if needed.

In publicly funded type A and type B continuing care homes, the care itself is covered and residents pay only a government-set accommodation charge, which as of the schedule effective April 1, 2026 ranges from roughly $70.60 to $112.45 a day depending on room type — about $2,150 to $3,400 a month. Private retirement residences and assisted living communities like Sunny South Lodge, by contrast, are paid privately, with operators setting their own rates and eligibility criteria. Seniors lodges, a distinctly Alberta option, may be subsidized through local housing management bodies. (Alberta.ca: Continuing care accommodation charges; Alberta.ca: How to access continuing care)
