Living at BethanyAbout Bethany
Creating caring communities
We celebrate aging and we value choice, quality of life, independence and community. These are the cornerstones of our services. As the seniors population grows, so have we, responding to the needs of the communities we are part of. Inspired by our legacy of faith, caring and love, and along with a passion to serve, we create caring communities for our seniors. Our continuing care programs, residences and service options reflect the changing social, physical, spiritual, emotional and intellectual needs of our residents and our clients.
Our History
A legacy of faith, inclusion and love for our neighbours
In 1945, five visionary Albertans had a vision to create a home for people who could not live on their own as a result of physical frailty, disability, chronic illness or family circumstance. Step by step and dollar by dollar, they rallied support to open their first caring community for 19 residents. They would be amazed today to see how their vision has grown – in 2016, that first residence has grown from a 4.75 acre site to sites across central and southern Alberta.
