Types of care available in Calgary, AB
My mom lived at Staywell Manor for 6 years both in Assisted Living and Memory Care. My mom was not always easy to care for and I was always impressed how patient and caring the staff were. Last October she passed away in her home at Staywell Manor. All the staff provided exceptional support to our family during this difficult time and I miss my visits to Staywell. Over the six years things changed at Staywell and I saw a commitment to continuous improvement.
The Lodge at Valley Ridge is the most lovely warm and welcoming home. We toured a few places in Calgary before my Mom and I chose this lodge. It has a different feel than most. It feels so relaxed and the people seem genuinely happy, both staff and residents. My Mom was nervous about the move when we first started this process, but now she is saying she should have done this sooner. She tells me she is happy and I feel so much better knowing my Mom is safe and sound.
Nice Place. Fairly new... 2 years or so. When my sister moved in 4 months ago there were lots fewer clients. Now it is much busier. Lots of activities if you are able. Big plus for my sister was flexible dining. Very good food. Well prepared. Alacarte menu all day. We join her for dinner once or twice a week. Never disappointed. Some hiccups initially with wheelchair accessibility in bathroom. Vanity had to be revamped. Still waiting for new vanity drawers. No roll-in showers in any of the suites. Definitely a design oversight. There is a large shower available on the 2nd floor where she lives and is assisted get to and fro twice weekly. Decent cable tv plan included. Lots of open spaces, outdoor decks and grounds.
