Overview - Types of Care

Facility Living
This option provides a home for people who are not able to live independently in their own homes because of complex health and care needs. Facility living provides round the clock nursing and personal care in a supervised, secure and home-like setting.

CapitalCare operates six centres:
Dickinsfield
Grandview
Kipnes Centre for Veterans
Lynnwood
Norwood
Strathcona

Supportive Living
This option combines round the clock health and personal care with housing designed specifically for people eligible for continuing care. This option is available to those individuals or couples who are capable of living independently and can make decisions, but can no longer meet all of their own care needs because of medical conditions or disabilities.

The CapitalCare Adult Duplexes allow disabled adults to live independently in a group home setting.

Laurier House Lynnwood and Laurier House Strathcona offer the comfort and privacy of a personal residence, together with the peace of mind that comes with knowing assistance is there when needed.

The CapitalCare Alzheimer care centres, McConnell Place North, McConnell Place West and Strathcona Alzheimer Care Centre, provide safe and secure residential environments for those with a specific diagnosis of Alzheimer’s.

Home Living
This option helps medically fragile people to continue living independently and in their own homes longer by assisting them with their health and personal care requirements.

There are various home living programs available throughout the Capital Health region, including CapitalCare CHOICE and Community Programs.

The CapitalCare CHOICE programs operate out of day centres. Participants are transported from their homes to one of the day centres up to five days a week where they receive a full range of medical, psychological, therapeutic, social and supportive services from an interdisciplinary care team.

To be eligible for any of these types of care, a person must be assessed by Community Care Access.
