North Ridge Lodge

A community built around comfort and connection, North Ridge Lodge has been home to seniors in St. Albert, Alberta since 1992. Located at 21 Mont Clare Place, this welcoming lodge offers 45 private rooms and a full range of amenities designed to help residents feel safe, supported, and truly at home.

Living Options & Care Levels

When you are looking for the right place for a parent or loved one, understanding what each care level actually means day to day makes all the difference. North Ridge Lodge offers two main options: Independent Living and Supportive Housing. Independent Living is a great fit for seniors who are largely self-sufficient but want to simplify their lives. Rather than managing a home on their own, residents here enjoy the freedom of having meals, housekeeping, and laundry handled for them, while still living on their own terms. It is a lifestyle choice as much as a care choice, and many residents find it opens the door to more social connection and less daily stress. Supportive Housing takes things a step further, offering a level of assistance for seniors who may need a little more help with daily routines. Staff are available on-site at all times, which gives both residents and their families real peace of mind. This option is ideal for a parent who values their independence but benefits from knowing support is close by whenever it is needed. At North Ridge Lodge, both options are delivered with warmth and genuine care for each resident as an individual.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

Life at North Ridge Lodge is shaped by thoughtful spaces and meaningful daily experiences. Each of the 45 rooms includes a comfortable bed and sitting area with a separate full bathroom, giving residents both privacy and room to make the space their own. Rooms come fully furnished, though residents are welcome to bring personal furniture if they prefer a more familiar feel. Beyond the private rooms, the lodge is filled with inviting spaces for residents to gather, relax, and stay engaged. Comfortable common areas and attractive lounges are spread throughout the building, creating natural spots for conversation and community. A dedicated craft room gives creative residents a space to explore arts and crafts, while the library offers a quiet retreat for those who love to read. For residents who want to stay connected digitally, a technology centre with computers is available on-site. The lodge also features a chapel for worship services, a hair salon and spa for personal care, and a central dining area where three meals are served each day. Housekeeping and laundry services are provided, which means residents can focus their time and energy on the things they enjoy most. Wellness programs round out the day-to-day experience, helping residents stay active and engaged in their health. Social programming such as card games, bingo, and bridge club creates plenty of opportunity for fun and friendship throughout the week.

Why Residents Choose North Ridge Lodge

Families and residents are drawn to North Ridge Lodge for a combination of reasons that are hard to find all in one place. The fact that staff are present on-site at all times is a significant factor for many families. Knowing that support is always available, without needing to arrange it separately, brings a level of comfort that matters enormously during what can be a big life transition. The lodge also takes care of the practical details that can weigh on seniors living independently. Three meals per day, regular housekeeping, and laundry services are all included, removing the burden of daily chores and allowing residents to focus on living well. The variety of social and wellness programming means there is always something to look forward to, whether that is a friendly card game, a crafting session, or a visit to the hair salon. For families, this kind of well-rounded, dependable environment offers reassurance that a loved one is not just cared for, but genuinely thriving.
