Public long-term care and home care for Tofield residents

Continuing care in Alberta, including nursing home placement, works the same way for Tofield residents as elsewhere in the province. Access to publicly funded home care or a continuing care home is based on a professional assessment of unmet care needs by a registered nurse or physician. To start, call Health Link at 811 — a registered nurse can arrange the assessment, no referral is required, and you can call on behalf of a relative who cannot call themselves.

In type A continuing care homes like Tofield Health Centre, health care goods and services are publicly funded at no cost to residents; residents pay only a government-set accommodation charge covering the room, meals, housekeeping, utilities and routine maintenance. Under the schedule effective April 1, 2026, the daily maximums range from $70.60 for a shared room to $112.45 for a multi-bedroom suite — roughly $2,150 to $3,400 a month. Low-income residents eligible for the Alberta Seniors Benefit or AISH may have accommodation charges fully or partly covered.
