Imagine starting your morning with a fresh cup of coffee on a rooftop patio overlooking the Edmonton River Valley, then heading downstairs to catch up with neighbours in a bright, welcoming lounge. That is the kind of everyday experience that defines life at Our Parents, a full-service retirement residence located at 10112 119 St NW in the heart of Edmonton, Alberta, just steps from the Victoria Promenade and the natural beauty of the River Valley.
Living Options and Care Levels
Our Parents offers a genuine continuum of care, meaning residents can find the right level of support from the moment they arrive and continue receiving the care they need as their circumstances change over time. Independent living at Our Parents is designed for seniors who are largely self-sufficient but want the ease and social richness that comes with community living, including meals, programming, and on-site amenities without the burden of home maintenance. For those who benefit from a little more daily assistance, assisted living provides personalized, in-suite support with the tasks of everyday life while still allowing residents to maintain their routines and sense of independence. Memory care at Our Parents is tailored specifically to individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, offering a structured and supportive environment where safety and dignity are the priority. Respite care is available for seniors who need short-term accommodations, whether to recover after a hospital stay or to give a family caregiver a temporary break. The residence also operates as a continuing care home, offering a higher level of regulated care for those with more complex medical or personal support needs. This range of options means families rarely have to face the difficult process of relocating a loved one to an entirely new community simply because their care needs have evolved.
What You Will Love About Living Here
Daily life at Our Parents is shaped by an abundance of thoughtfully designed spaces and programs that make each day feel full and purposeful. Residents enjoy three meals a day in a beautifully appointed dining room, with a bistro on-site for lighter bites and snacks available anytime a craving strikes. The culinary experience is crafted to feel like more than just a meal, it is a social occasion and a highlight of the day. Beyond dining, residents have access to a full fitness and wellness centre, a swimming pool, and active programming that includes yoga, dance, and Drum Fit classes, making it easy to stay physically engaged at any fitness level. Creative souls will appreciate the arts and crafts studio, while those who enjoy friendly competition can gather for card games, bingo, or bridge in the activity room. A billiards and games room, a movie theatre, and a library round out the indoor leisure options, ensuring there is always something to look forward to. The rooftop patio and beautifully maintained gardens offer peaceful outdoor spaces to relax, socialize, or simply take in the fresh air. Personal care is not forgotten either, with a spa and hair salon on-site, as well as on-site vendors for convenient everyday shopping. Housekeeping and laundry services are available to keep suites comfortable and tidy, and a technology centre gives residents the tools to stay connected with family and friends. For those who want to give back, volunteer opportunities within the community add meaningful purpose to daily life. Planned transportation excursions make it easy to explore Edmonton, and the pet-friendly environment means beloved companions are always welcome.
