Adds Lacombe-Ponoka MLA Ron Orr: “Adding these new beds in Ponoka provides residents the opportunity to stay in the community they know and love, close to family, and get the care they need.”

The new beds are in addition to 16 SL4 beds that Seasons Retirement Communities added in Drayton last summer, with another 20 in Ponoka in the summer.

Lori Sparrow, AHS Senior Operating Officer, Seniors Health, Central Zone, also welcomes the new beds.

“Providing more Albertans the opportunity to age in place, in familiar surroundings near family and loved ones, is an important cornerstone of enhancing care in the community,” says Sparrow.

According to AHS, supportive living overall promotes residents’ independence and aging in place through the provision of services such as 24-hour monitoring, emergency response, security, meals, housekeeping and social-enrichment activities.
