About our Members

Our members consist of a unique alliance made up of long term care, supportive living facilities and home care and supports operating in the public, private and volunary sectors throughout the province of Alberta.  Long term care centres operate under the Nursing Homes Act, the Hospitals Act, and Standards established by the provincial government and Alberta Health Services.
 
Our members provide accommodations, care and supports to more than 46,000 seniors and younger disabled adults in Alberta's continuing care system.  ACCA members employ over 16,000 Albertans who provide "hands-on" care and support.  Our members' care staff, both professional and non-professional, deliver more than 21 million hours of resident care per year.
  
 

A Unique Alliance

 

Long Term Care
ACCA members representing the public, non-profit and private industries own and operate long term facilities across Alberta. Our members represent an alliance of about 30 service organizations providing care to over 10,000 clients, or almost three out of every four Albertans in continuing care facilities today, and to seniors in the community.
 
There are approximately 14,500 long term care beds in Alberta. ACCA members own and operate over 10,200 beds:

• Private:        4424 beds
• Voluntary:    3695 beds
• Public:          1901 beds

The remaining beds who are not members of ACCA are owned and operated primarily by Health Regions.
