Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you fundraise, doesn't the government pay for everything?
We are very grateful to Alberta Health Services for funding much of our operations. However, government funding and resident fees cover only a portion of the total costs required to provide comprehensive care for the seniors in our care. Government funding covers some of our equipment costs, but your generosity enables us to do more. Together, can maintain a vibrant, caring community for the seniors that need us.
