Resources & Support

In order to be eligible for residency at one of our lodges, you must be: 

• 65 years of age or older
• A Canadian citizen 
• Able to live independently with minimal supports 
• Either a resident living within the current Evergreens Foundation boundaries or are dependant on an eligible resident

To apply to be a resident, you must meet the qualification requirements. If you qualify, you can complete and submit an Admission Forms Package to the Resident Coordinator of the facility to which you are applying. 

Resident selection is based upon the needs and rating criteria as established by the Alberta Seniors & Housing Ministry Community Supports. Applicants with the greatest need and who can function with basic supports are given priority. A summary of factors is used for evaluating candidates, including risk factors, degree of independence, housing need, income level, and special circumstances. Approval rests with the Client Services Manager, and The Chief Administrative Officer; any applications by those under the age requirements (65+) must be approved by the CAO or Board of Directors.

Those with high health care needs may be directed towards housing that offers 24-hour nursing care.

If you are currently residing outside of Alberta, you may be eligible to apply if you have immediate family members (son, daughter, spouse, or sibling) in the community you are applying to. This may not apply to Alpine Summit Seniors Lodge in Jasper, as additional accommodation criteria are required by Parks Canada.
