Continuing Care Inspection and Visit Results

Alberta Health oversees the provision of services in Alberta's licensed supportive living accommodations and continuing care homes and through home and community care providers.

Alberta Health inspects and monitors all supportive living accommodations, continuing care homes, and home and community care providers as set out in the Continuing Care Act, regulations, and applicable standards. Alberta Health reports timely and transparent inspection information to the public for supportive living accommodations and continuing care homes, however, inspection results are not currently publicly reported for home and community care providers.

The Government of Alberta sets expectations for quality in continuing care through the province’s accommodation and health service standards.

There are two sets of accommodation standards and one set of health service standards:

• Accommodation Standards – Continuing Care Home
• Accommodation Standards – Supportive Living Accommodation
• Continuing Care Health Service Standards

The Accommodation Standards establish the minimum standards of accommodation services to promote safety, security and quality of life for clients. Accommodation services include meals, building maintenance, security, and housekeeping, social or leisure activities, and resident and family involvement.

The Continuing Care Health Service Standards establish the minimum standards for high quality, individualized health care services based on the assessed needs of each client and resident.

This web page helps Albertans make informed decisions by providing current and historical information about compliance related to the above standards in supportive living accommodations and continuing care homes.

With the introduction of the Continuing Care Act – accommodations may have multiple records in the public reporting below. The accommodation types listed above are used for any inspections that occur after April 1st, 2024. Contraventions issued under previous acts and regulations are listed and rectified under historical accommodation types known as long term care and supportive living. Review all accommodation types for a complete picture of any outstanding contraventions for an accommodation.
