Living Options and Care Levels

CapitalCare Lynnwood is designed to support residents across a range of care needs, making it possible for people to receive the right level of care as their situation evolves over time. The centre’s primary focus is long-term care, providing around-the-clock support for residents who need consistent assistance with daily living. For those living with dementia, Lynnwood offers dedicated memory care neighbourhoods that are thoughtfully designed to provide both safety and comfort. The centre also operates within the continuing care system, meaning residents have access to coordinated health services that can adapt as their needs change. Lynnwood also includes a Transition Neighbourhood, which helps individuals moving out of hospital navigate complex situations before settling into the living arrangement that best suits them. An Enhanced Support Program is available for residents with medical and complex psychiatric needs, with higher staffing levels to ensure appropriate care and quality of life. A secure version of this program is specifically available for men 18 and older who need a structured environment to help settle responsive behaviours, with a goal of eventually transitioning to a traditional long-term care setting. It is worth noting that admission to CapitalCare Lynnwood requires an assessment through Alberta Health Services. Families can begin that process by calling 780.496.1300.
