Because options are limited in a town this size, many families also widen their search to larger centres in the Edmonton area, where there is far more choice across independent living, assisted living, memory care and nursing homes.

Public long-term care and home care for Onoway residents

Public continuing care in Alberta — home care, designated supportive living (formerly called type B) and long-term care (type A, formerly nursing homes) — starts with an assessment arranged through Health Link at 8-1-1. Anyone can call on behalf of a family member, no referral is needed, and a registered nurse coordinates next steps. In publicly funded continuing care homes, the care itself is covered and residents pay only a government-set accommodation charge; current maximums and the schedule are published by the province. Private communities like Chateau Lac Ste. Anne are paid privately and set their own rates and eligibility criteria, separate from the public system. Residents who qualify for the Alberta Seniors Benefit or AISH may have accommodation charges reduced in publicly funded homes. Details on how access and charges work are on Alberta's pages for how to access continuing care and continuing care accommodation charges.
