Bridgeland Continuing Care Facility

This project will help meet an urgent need in the community to increase access to residential continuing and complex care in the Calgary area. It will also relieve pressure on Calgary hospitals and continuing care systems by reducing emergency departments’ demand, inpatient acute care services, and residential continuing care placement.

The Bridgeland Continuing Care Centre will be a combination of senior day programs and continuing care units. There care centre will cater to about 200 clients.

Approximately half the suites will be on secure floors, with a mixture of adults and seniors with a wide range of care needs from simple to complex. A secure outdoor space will be built into the overall design to meet the needs of those requiring complex care to access the outdoors safely. The facility design will support the residents through patient and family-centered care concepts that include incorporating natural light, pathways and gardens. Consideration will be given to integrating parks and pathways from the centre to the local community in order to ensure easy access to local transit and amenities. There will be a walkout basement that includes a commercial kitchen, loading dock and other support services.
