New Health and Accommodation Service Standards

Reflecting the province’s commitment to Albertans and the recommendation of the MLA Task Force on Continuing Care, the Government of Alberta is implementing new and updated standards for continuing care health and accommodation services immediately.

The new standards lay the groundwork for a higher quality of life and health care for all Albertans receiving continuing care services in home, community and facility-based settings. The standards were developed after months of feedback to the task force from continuing care residents and their families, industry stakeholders, facility operators and regional health authorities.

For more information, please refer to the news release and the task force’s new and updated standards:
