The medical form can be picked up from the Marketing Department. It must be filled out by the family physician. If there is a charge we will reimburse the cost to residents for this fee. It is then sent back to The Lodge, where our Health and Wellness Manager will book an appointment and sit down to ensure your transition is service excellence.
Ruth grew up in a small outport community in eastern Canada and feels like she has “come home” to the prairie community of The Lodge at Valley Ridge where the vitality of the residents and getting to know your neighbour is so important. It is that neighbour helping neighbour attitude that makes The Lodge at Valley Ridge Retirement Residence the friendly and welcoming community that it is.
Central-west Calgary seniors (and family members) looking for a change for the better might find much more than they bargained for in the Lodge at Valley Ridge. Take all the best things from your current home and move them into a spacious, welcoming community of happy peers. People here live a full life every day, one perfectly matched to the person they are at this stage.
This community offers exceptional luxury in a community that is also, in fact, very relaxed. There are many fun activities on the weekly schedule to get people involved and cement friendships. During the winter months, there are fun indoor activities (the annual St. Paddy's Day dress-up is a hoot!) and lots of outdoor activities in summer, set against the backdrop of the gorgeous exterior greenspace. You can also take part in coffee time, ladies hour, men’s luncheon, happy hour, etc. Staff here make it a goal to focus on the uniqueness of each community member, and that comes out in interactions you see throughout the community.
