Choice is important

Spending time with family and friends is a lot easier when you live close by. Christenson has communities across the province, giving you a variety of welcoming and well-appointed retirement homes to choose from.

Explore our versatile senior housing in major centres like Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer. Just outside of Edmonton, we offer opportunities in St. Albert and Sherwood Park.

If you grew up in a rural setting and always wanted to retire to a smaller community, consider Rocky Mountain House, Lacombe, Camrose, Whitecourt or Valleyview.

What you can expect

Although every Christenson project offers unique features, there are some things you can expect at all of our properties. One of our trademarks is a well-trained and compassionate staff. Our senior care professionals are chosen because they are deeply qualified and genuinely enjoy investing time in our residents.

At a Christenson community, you can expect flexible living. Whether you’re totally independent, in need of occasional support, or reliant on AHS, we will work with you to ensure that you are receiving the best possible care, available right in your suite if required. You can also expect that, as your needs change, our level of care and support will adapt to suit your needs. For your comfort and convenience, these supportive care services are available ‘a la carte’.

Another standard feature of our retirement homes is built-in fun. While each location offers a unique set of amenities such as games rooms, exercise centres, and movie rooms, every one of our senior homes present regular social functions for your enjoyment. It could be a wine tasting accompanied by light jazz, a live musical performance or valuable classes and craft events. Fun is standard when you live in our active, engaging homes.

Flexibility of living

Peace of mind is important at every stage of your life, and today is no different. We want you to be at ease so we’ve made it easy and flexible to afford a place to call your own. Make the choice to rent or take advantage of our versatile Life Lease program. Life Lease lets you use the value of your home to reduce your monthly living expenses. If you’re still waiting for your home to sell, look into our Flex-Ability program which lets you move forward on your schedule, not the time-table of the real estate market.

Life Lease

We want to make your move to a Christenson retirement home as easy and affordable as possible. With our leasing and rental options you can have the independent, supportive, or assisted living lifestyle you've been looking for. Our flexible financial options allow you to Age in Place in senior housing that meets your needs.

Residents have the option of simply renting their suite or taking advantage of our Life Lease program. With traditional rent, the monthly payment consists of a percentage of the property plus operating charges. A Life Lease means you could pay only the pre-determined monthly operating costs. Talk to one of our consultants to discover how this program could work for you and what your specific monthly costs would be.

Welcome home

Naturally, at your new Christenson community, we look after the building and yard maintenance, so you can relax and leave the big chores to us. Everything we do is designed to let you live life your way. Christenson communities are designed to be flexible, giving you the peace of mind you long for, and letting you know you’re home again.
