Senior Homes in Lamont, AB

Senior homes in Lamont: a local guide

Lamont has two senior homes listed on SeniorHome.ca: one nursing home and one assisted living residence. Neither currently publishes a starting rate, so families should contact the homes directly or compare against provincial medians to budget.

Senior homes in Lamont

• Lamont Health Care Centre - Morley Young Manor (5216 53 Street) — a nursing home, the highest level of residential care, equivalent to a type A continuing care home under Alberta's system.
• Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge (5203 52 Street) — an assisted living residence, often marketed in Alberta as supportive living, offering scheduled help with bathing, dressing and medications.

Together these two homes cover the main levels of care most families in a town the size of Lamont need: higher-level nursing care and supportive assisted living. For independent living, retirement residences or memory care, families often also look at larger centres nearby, since those care types are not currently listed in Lamont.

What senior homes cost in Lamont compared with the rest of Alberta

Neither Lamont community has a published starting rate, so there's no local median to quote yet. For context, provincial starting rates by care type are $3,085 a month for assisted living and $3,112 for nursing homes, with an overall Alberta median of $2,814. Among the larger cities tracked, Edmonton starts at a median of $2,713 and Calgary at $3,340, while smaller centres such as Lethbridge ($2,165) and Sherwood Park ($2,261) run well below that. Lamont families can use these figures as a rough budgeting benchmark while confirming actual rates directly with Lamont Health Care Centre and Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge, or see the cost of senior living in Lamont page for updates.

Public long-term care and home care for Lamont residents

Lamont Health Care Centre, as a nursing home, functions as a type A continuing care home under Alberta's provincial system: health care itself is publicly funded, and residents pay only a government-set accommodation charge covering room, meals, housekeeping and utilities. Current maximum daily accommodation charges run from about $70.60 for a shared room up to $112.45 for a multi-bedroom suite, roughly $2,150 to $3,400 a month, with the next adjustment effective April 1, 2026.

To access publicly funded continuing care, home care, or to find out if a bed is available at a type A or type B home, Lamont residents or their families can call Health Link at 8-1-1 to request a professional assessment by a registered nurse. No referral is required, and anyone can call on behalf of a relative. Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge, as a supportive living residence, sets its own eligibility criteria and accommodation charges, so families should approach it directly rather than through the continuing care intake line.

How to choose a senior home in Lamont

• Call both Lamont Health Care Centre and Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge directly to confirm current rates, room types and availability, since neither publishes a starting price.
• If a loved one may need publicly funded nursing care or home care, call Health Link at 8-1-1 to start a continuing care assessment before touring.
• Ask each home what's included in the accommodation charge or monthly rate, and what happens if care needs increase over time.
• Confirm eligibility criteria at Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge, such as age, mobility and functional independence requirements, since supportive living residences set their own rules.
• Because Lamont has only two listed communities, also consider nearby cities in Alberta for more choice in independent living, memory care or retirement residences, and compare their medians using the senior homes in Alberta overview.
• Use the free care assessment to match your family's needs and budget to options in and around Lamont.
