Protecting and improving the health and well-being of seniors in our province is crucial. It’s an investment that ensures the best possible care for our parents, grandparents and elders today and it also helps innovate seniors’ care that will benefit all of us as we age.

The population of seniors in our province continues to rise faster than all other age groups, bringing complex health needs that range from acute hospital care to continuing care, supportive living, rehabilitation needs, and palliative and end-of-life care.

We need your help to keep up with the demand and take bold steps to continue transforming seniors' care.

Seniors' Acute Care

Last year, one in six emergency visits to a Covenant hospital were from a senior. Your support can directly impact thousands of seniors every year who rely on Covenant’s hospitals and continuing care facilities for their acute health needs, such as serious injuries, complex illnesses, geriatric mental health and end-of-life care.Your generosity helps to equip Covenant’s health teams with leading-edge technology, research and training that goes beyond what the government provides to ensure we keep up with medical advancements that improve patient outcomes and save lives.

Seniors' Continuing Care

With your support, we can help seniors maintain greater independence, stay in their homes and connected to their communities as long as they can, and enjoy the best health and quality of life possible. When you partner with us, you can impact seniors at 16 sites in nine communities across Alberta, providing:

  • Innovative technology such as virtual reality goggles that lift seniors’ spirits as they travel the world from the comfort of their continuing care home

  • Assisted living supports such as specialized beds, tub rooms and lifts that provide greater comfort, safety and dignity in car

  • Enhanced care spaces for recreational activities such as group exercise, drum circles and animal therapy to help seniors keep physically and mentally active and break down social isolation

  • Accessibility-equipped minibuses and bikes that keep seniors active and connected to their community

  • Memory and dementia care programs that can foster socialization and reduce agitation
