We foster trusting relationships with residents and families.
Welcome home
Each day we witness the power of trusting relationships and know that, as much as we care for residents, we too receive their love. When we welcome residents, we invite them to be part our nurturing community. Every member of our staff is part of the care team contributing to resident wellbeing. Together, we foster a home of connections and moments of joy.
Understanding continuing care
Alberta’s continuum of care extends from preventative and primary care to acute care to continuing care and hospice. At Wing Kei, our efforts focus on continuing care services which offers ongoing health and personal care for people with complex needs.
The provincial government defines three levels of continuing care:
- Type A for individuals with complex medical needs who require access to 24/7 nursing and personal care. We offer this at our Crescent Heights and Greenview centres. We will be increasing our number of spaces when our new Highland Park Centre opens in late 2026.
- Type B for individuals who require more care than they can safely receive at home. We offer this at our Greenview centre.
- Type C for individuals who are palliative and at the end of life. We will offer this at our new Highland Park centre.
Accessing continuing care
There are several steps to accessing continuing care and becoming part of our community. Access is through one entry point and will include an assessment to determine what type of continuing care services would be most suitable.
How we are funded
We receive care funding from the provincial government and an accommodation fee from residents. Care funding is for nursing, therapeutic, and other care while the accommodation fee, which is set by the provincial government, is for room and board. Enhancements to quality of life and capital expenditures are funded with donor generousity.
In the continuing care funding model, the cost of care (nursing, therapeutic) is assessed based on the complexity of resident needs and provided by the provincial government. Residents pay an accommodation fee, the rate of which is set by the provincial government, for room and board expenses. The funding model does not include resident experience enhancements or capital expenditures.
