About Bedford Village by Christenson Communities

Bedford Village by Christenson Communities is built around the belief that retirement should feel like a fresh chapter, not a compromise. Situated at 161 Festival Way in Sherwood Park, Alberta, this thoughtfully designed independent living community offers 99 luxury suites within the vibrant Centre in the Park urban village, giving residents the comfort of a well-appointed home alongside the energy of a thriving neighbourhood.

Living Options & Care Levels

If you are helping a parent or loved one explore their next chapter, Bedford Village offers independent living and retirement home options designed for seniors who are largely self-sufficient but ready to enjoy a more carefree lifestyle. Independent living here means your family member gets to keep their privacy and autonomy while leaving behind the responsibilities of home ownership like yard work, building maintenance, and the daily chores that can wear on a person over time. This is a setting where a senior can thrive on their own terms, with the peace of mind that comes from knowing support and community are close at hand. It is an especially good fit for older adults who are active and social but are ready for a home that works for them rather than the other way around.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

From the moment residents step into the grand two-storey lobby with its warm oak panelling, Bedford Village makes a lasting impression. The building has been designed with both elegance and everyday life in mind. The dining room looks out over a beautifully landscaped courtyard, making every meal a pleasant experience rather than just a necessity. For those who like to stay active, there is a fitness and wellness centre on site, and when residents are in the mood for something more relaxed, the movie theatre and billiards and games room offer easy ways to unwind or connect with neighbours. Creative pursuits are also well supported, with arts and crafts available for those who enjoy making things with their hands. Guest suites are available based on availability, which means family members can stay close when they come to visit without anyone feeling cramped. Outdoors, the beautiful gardens and grounds offer a peaceful retreat, and the outdoor terrace and patio provide a lovely spot to enjoy fresh air with a cup of coffee or good conversation. Underground parking adds a practical convenience that residents and their visiting families will appreciate, especially through Alberta winters. Housekeeping services and laundry or dry cleaning services round out the day-to-day support available, keeping suites comfortable and residents free to focus on the things they actually enjoy.

Why Residents Choose Bedford Village by Christenson Communities

One of the most common reasons seniors and their families choose Bedford Village is the flexibility it offers. Optional services including meals, housekeeping, laundry, and personal services mean that residents can build a lifestyle package that genuinely fits their needs, rather than paying for things they do not want or going without things they do. The suites themselves are generously sized, coming in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, each equipped with five appliances, in-suite laundry, spacious balconies, and air conditioning. That level of suite quality is something families notice right away when comparing options. Residents and their loved ones also take comfort in knowing that Bedford Village is part of the well-established Christenson Communities network, a group with a long track record of building and operating thoughtful senior living communities across Alberta. That continuity and experience matters when families are entrusting the care and comfort of someone they love to a community.

Location Benefits

Sherwood Park is known for its green spaces and well-kept public areas, and Bedford Village sits right in the heart of that character. Centre in the Park is not a typical retirement address tucked away from everyday life. It is a living, breathing part of the community where residents can walk out their door and find themselves surrounded by inviting public spaces, mature landscaping, and the kind of neighbourhood energy that keeps life feeling full. The gardens and grounds at Bedford Village itself add to that sense of being rooted in nature, giving residents a place to stroll, sit quietly, or simply enjoy the changing seasons without having to go far at all. For seniors who value fresh air, greenery, and a setting that feels connected to the wider world around them, the location of Bedford Village offers something genuinely meaningful.
