	CapitalCare Dickinsfield 14225 - 94 Street Edmonton, Alberta T5E 6C6 T 780.496.3300 F 780.476.4585

When Dickinsfield officially opened on May 28, 1979, it was one of the most modern and innovative extended care centres to be developed at that time. It was the first facility in the province to integrate auxiliary hospital and nursing home residents - a program designed to avoid the necessity of moving a resident when their condition changed.

Dickinsfield is located in northeast Edmonton. The centre has 275 continuing care beds and offers many different programs that are customized to meet the individual needs of our residents. The centre care units provide specialized care for residents:

Special Care Units
Secure - For residents with dementia who are ambulatory and at risk of leaving the building.

Supportive - For residents in middle to later stages of dementia who require supportive care, but are not able to leave the building independently.

Comfort - For residents in later stages of dementia who require enhanced care, but are not able to leave the building independently.

Young Adult - Young adults who are disabled and require continuing care services.

Dickinsfield also operates the Young Adult Day Support Program and provides support services to McConnell Place North, an innovative model of continuing care that is the first of its kind in Canada.

Care Team
The care team meets regularly to identify and address the needs of residents through team meetings and ongoing interdisciplinary consultation.

For More Information
Community Care Access is the first point of contact for all continuing care programs and services in the Capital Health region.
