Senior Supportive Living in Ponoka & Rimbey

As people age, they're faced with the decision of living somewhere that can best meet their needs for their health and well-being. The decision becomes even more pressing when considering finances. The mandate of the Seniors Lodge program is to provide affordable room and board for senior citizens who are functionally independent or functionally independent with the assistance of existing community-based services. It is important for seniors to reside somewhere that improves and compliments their physical and mental health. Our senior supportive living options allow our residents to continue their independence but receive help when needed. Living with like minded people can be beneficial.
