This community is an ideal destination for Grande Prairie seniors who want to live it up and live well. The sophistication and splendour of the environment, the quality of people living here, along with the professionalism of staff make this much more than a home. It’s a unique experience. As one resident told us, “Everywhere you turn here, there’re good people!”
This lovely community is ideal for a variety of people. The easily accessible golf course is ideal for golf lovers. There's also a ski hill nearby. The community also offers a variety of care to accommodate couples with varying levels of need. Couples where one spouse needs assistance while the other is independent can stay together under one roof.

This was the most inviting community for us. It's got a great layout. It feels warm the minute you walk in. There's a big, beautiful kitchen with amazing smells coming out of it. The staff are lovely and kind... It felt like home [right away].
The Lodge at Valley Ridge is very big! The coffee chat, breakfast room, bar, exercise room, library and Chapel are beautiful. My bedroom [has a] very nice kitchen and outside with deck. l love it so much and [am] having a good experience.
The Lodge at Valley Ridge became home for my father after my mother passed in 2016. Before we chose this place, we toured 10 places in NW and SW Calgary and it is difficult to compare as they each have differences in what they have to offer. Together, my dad and I chose the Lodge, as we felt it stood out, and hoped for the best. They continued to impress us with their management, eloquent menu & dining atmosphere, amazing and personable Chef (I never saw a canned vegetable on the menu once and i ate their often with my father), and the dining room staff. The Chef created food and speciality items with ease and i felt like we were dining on a cruise ship. Their buffets on special occasions were remarkable and always packed with extended family joining the residents. There was an air of excitement and enjoyment at special food nights too! The airy classy dining room was always inviting. As my father’s health needs changed I was amazed with the care and assistance the medical team delivered and when we needed home care to become more involved, it appeared to happen seamlessly for my father. The nurse and aid care teams kept in touch with me whenever there was a problem arising or an urgent matter to address. A shout out to Nurse MaryAnne for her excellent communication with myself and my very deaf father; her passion for adhering to nursing protocols that far exceed minimum care made me rest easy at nights. Also a shout out to Ezel (overseeing the nurse team) for handling many phone-calls on behalf of my father when things were becoming more complicated. All this enabled my father to stay much longer than i thought possible for his declining health, which was important to my father. The Lodge had become a home, and all the staff had become extended family. My father was able to stay almost 7 years until the need for long term care was necessary. Thank you to the Manager (Glen) for running a quality home for Independent living, and thank you to the reception staff and maintenance staff for always addressing all the residents concerns (with computers, technical issues, laundry, cleaning, questions). No task was left unaddressed; another form of making the seniors feel cared for. There was very low turnover in the frontline staff over 7 years and I believe this also played a crucial role in the “family” atmosphere for my father. My husband and I both agree, that if a time comes that we need this type of facility for ourselves we would put The Lodge at Valley Ridge at the top of our list. We will continue to spread their good work to all our friends and acquaintances. To all the staff at the Lodge at Valley Ridge please accept our (myself and family members) deepest gratitude for taking care of my father for the last 7 years. He felt well taken care of and also valued by everyone.
