Since becoming operational in September 2025, Assisted Living Alberta (ALA) continues to make significant progress in expanding care capacity, supporting more Albertans to remain in their homes and communities, improving transitions between care services, and strengthening integration across Alberta's health system.

New continuing care spaces are being added across the province, helping more Albertans access the supports they need closer to home. We are also working with partners to advance future continuing care developments that will provide additional capacity and more options for individuals and families in the years ahead.
Most Albertans want to remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible. Home and Community Care services play a critical role in helping people maintain their independence, recover safely after illness or injury, and manage ongoing health needs.
We support thousands of Albertans every day with health care, personal care, rehabilitation, and other essential services that help them live safely and confidently at home.
We are working with health system partners to improve transitions between hospitals, home care, community services, assisted living, and continuing care settings. By strengthening coordination and creating smoother pathways to care, we are helping Albertans receive the support they need sooner and in the most appropriate setting.

Home and community
Supporting Albertans to recover and receive care in community settings helps ensure hospital beds remain available for patients who require acute care.
Through improved care coordination, expanded community capacity, and innovative recovery programs, we are helping reduce delays in care transitions and create greater capacity across Alberta's health care system.
Across the province, teams are working to strengthen clinical practices, improve service consistency, enhance quality oversight, and adopt innovative approaches that support better experiences and outcomes for Albertans. This includes initiatives that help residents remain engaged, connected, and supported while receiving care.
Strong partnerships are essential to delivering integrated care. ALA works closely with health care providers, community organizations, government ministries, and health system partners to improve coordination and better support Albertans with diverse needs.
Together, we are building a more connected system that helps people access services more easily and receive care that is responsive, compassionate, and focused on their goals.
