LETHBRIDGE, AB– Lethbridge will be getting a new continuing care centre that will be home to up to 102 people.

Construction is underway on St. Anne’s Haven, the $26-million Covenant Care project.

The provincial government contributed $10-million towards the project to build more and safer continuing care spaces in communities most in need.

“Alberta’s government is committed to treating seniors and people with disabilities with the support and respect they deserve,” says Health Minister Tyler Shandro.

“Residents of St. Anne’s Haven can look forward to expert, quality care and services surrounded by loved ones in the same community where they built their lives, raised their families and made friends.”

MLA for Lethbridge-East, Nathan Neudorf says the facility is exactly what Lethbridge needs.

“This facility will benefit all of Lethbridge. St. Anne’s Haven will be a safe and welcoming home where seniors and people with disabilities can get the care they need. Thank you to Covenant Care for providing thoughtful, compassionate care to our community’s seniors, people with complex needs, and their families.”

Spacing over almost five acres in Lethbridge’s Garry Station neighbourhood, the three-story building will house seniors in home-like groupings of 17 suites.

The facility is expected to open in spring 2022 and is named after St. Anne, the patron saint of grandparents.
