About Dr. Gerald Zetter Care Centre
A Community Built on Compassion and Person-Centred Care in Edmonton, Alberta
At the heart of everything offered here is a genuine commitment to meaningful living, dignity, and the belief that every person deserves care that respects who they are. Dr. Gerald Zetter Care Centre, located at 9649 71 Ave NW in Edmonton, Alberta, is part of the Good Samaritan family of care homes and brings that organization’s long-standing values of inclusion, safety, and relationship-centred support to residents across a full range of care needs.
Living Options and Care Levels
One of the most reassuring aspects of choosing Dr. Gerald Zetter Care Centre is knowing that care can grow and adapt alongside your loved one’s needs. Whether your parent is still largely independent but would benefit from a supportive community, or they require hands-on daily assistance, there is a place here for them. For seniors who are ready to let go of the responsibilities of home maintenance and enjoy a more carefree lifestyle, Independent Living offers that freedom without sacrificing comfort or community connection. If your parent needs some help with daily tasks but still values their independence and privacy, Assisted Living provides that balance, with support available when it is needed and space to live on their own terms when it is not. For families navigating the challenges of a loved one living with dementia or another form of memory loss, the Memory Care program is designed to offer a calm, structured environment where safety is prioritized and residents are supported with compassion and understanding. For those with more complex or ongoing health needs, Long-Term Care and Continuing Care provide around-the-clock staffing and access to consistent, professional support. These care levels mean that as your parent’s situation changes over time, they may not need to move to an entirely new facility. That kind of continuity can make a meaningful difference for both residents and families.

For residents who value getting out into the community, organized excursions and outings provide regular opportunities to explore Edmonton and enjoy new experiences beyond the walls of the building. These outings can do a great deal for a person’s sense of purpose and joy, and they reflect the facility’s broader commitment to meaningful living. For those who draw strength from their faith, worship services are offered on-site, making it easier for residents to maintain spiritual practices that have long been a source of comfort and connection in their lives. Together, these offerings create a day-to-day environment that feels full and purposeful rather than simply routine.
Why Residents Choose Dr. Gerald Zetter Care Centre

The ability to move from Independent Living through to Long-Term Care and Continuing Care without having to leave the community you have built is a practical and emotional benefit that should not be underestimated. The fact that staff are present around the clock also provides a level of reassurance that matters deeply to families who want to know their loved one is never without support.
