Many communities also have visiting doctors who provide regular medical oversight and consultations.
How do long-term care communities handle advanced care planning and end-of-life decisions with residents and families?

Families are viewed as partners in care. Our team offers regular updates, family meetings, and opportunities for involvement in care planning, ensuring caregivers feel informed, supported, and connected.
What is the eligibility process for accessing government-funded long term care in Alberta or BC?
Eligibility typically starts with an assessment by a health authority case manager who evaluates medical needs and daily living capabilities.

Some communities also offer private pay options for immediate occupancy, depending on availability.
Is the price going to increase if my care needs change?
Optima Living communities offer transparent, all-inclusive care packages, so you won’t face unexpected financial surprises if your care needs increase. Any changes to care service are discussed in advance, ensuring clarity and peace of mind.
Can residents in long term care access outdoor spaces?
