Alberta’s government is committing more than $200 million to build and upgrade seniors housing across the province.

As Alberta’s seniors population grows at an unprecedented pace, Alberta’s government is investing record amounts to support seniors and ensure the province’s seniors housing stock grows along with it. Alberta’s government created the Seniors Lodge Modernization Program and is committing hundreds of millions of dollars to build new seniors lodges and upgrade existing ones, ensuring Alberta seniors can age with dignity in the communities they’ve helped build.

“Seniors have made enormous contributions to the communities we live in today, and they deserve housing that reflects that. By investing more than $200 million to modernize and expand seniors lodges, Alberta’s government is helping ensure seniors can continue living in the communities they helped build, with the comfort, dignity and support they deserve.”
