PRINCE OF PEACE

This community is ideal for Calgary families and seniors looking for something a little different, something a little more ideally relaxed. The location just outside of Calgary in Rocky View County, is an idyllic location that offers quiet, country living close to the city. In addition, this is close to the highway, making it easily accessible for family members from throughout the area.

This community is exceptionally warm and friendly. You see people throughout this community who seem to have found a renewed joy in living. There's a lightness to life at Trinity Lodge. Staff demonstrate a personal connection to the needs of seniors. Trinity includes a focus on health and wellness that extends beyond the physical, to the emotional and spiritual. This is especially seen in the availability of in-house social features ranging from art classes to inclusive chapel services and much more.

What a lovely place. The staff are all so kind and full of compassion and knowledge! The nurses go above and beyond and the whole place is clean and sanitary (a priority for my family)! The food is also amazing and I really appreciate all the activities and fun events the staff plan. It really brightens the patient's days and helps the days not blend in to one another. I think it's vital to have something to look forward to and socialization for quality of life and to ward off dementia! Thank you Prince of Peace! You've given me peace of mind and joy!

The staff vigilantly guard against infection from every angle. My mom is quite appreciative of your efforts, as well as all the accommodations you provide for her.

My Mum, who is 97, has lived at Prince of Peace Manor for three years. She has some dementia and she loves living there. She says the food is very good and the staff are professional, kind, helpful and not intrusive. I have found the standard of care to be excellent and staff go the extra mile to ensure that residents are healthy and safe. My Mum and I are happy we found the Prince of Peace Manor.

I love the big windows! There are great views of the mountains and prairies. The walking paths are well maintained which makes it easy to enjoy the duck ponds and green space in the community.

My Mom, Betty Klassen… was able to receive Palliative Care at her home, Prince of Peace, after having a stroke. Our family experienced significant emotional and physical support through the last 5 days that we spent at our Mom's bedside. In those difficult days, we witnessed the deep connection that existed between Mom and her caregivers. They treated her and us with a great deal of respect and care. They anticipated care needs, they showed up during the most difficult days, with such kindness and compassion for us all. Mom died peacefully and gracefully here in her home, surrounded by her children and her Prince of Peace family. The impact that this had upon our family will be with us forever. [It’s a] commendable organization and excellent frontline staff [who] have provided kind and compassionate care throughout the past year. Transitioning into care was stressful for both our mother, who has dementia, and our family. This was compounded by COVID. The staff at all levels from admin, to personal care workers have been kind, patient, and available through many tearful conversations. I [loved] watching Mom share a joke with the staff, their investment in relationship with her [was] evident and welcome. The staff are vigilant and observant - anticipating her needs, and responding to concerns and changes that we note as well. Other things that make it a great home include a varied menu, and nutritious meals and snacks. It is always clean and smelling fresh. There is lots of sunlight...These things combine to create a welcoming atmosphere.

My partner, Foster, was absolutely thrilled to have secured a furnished respite room at Trinity Lodge for nine days/nights, enjoying three exquisite meals a day, a variety of amenities, active engagement and enrichment programs, plus a most friendly, competent, and caring team. He was pleased with, and grateful for, every aspect of his experience there. We are both happy to recommend Trinity Lodge as your choice for elegant respite or inspired retirement living.

We have a top chef here and he's been here a long time! We also have terrific staff here. There's lots of things to do here. They have classes going on—baking classes, sewing classes, all the classes you can find. We have a huge room for exercise. They have drumming classes there and we have lots of fun. Lots of laughter! If you have a problem, they come in, and they keep up. I have no complaints at all!

My godmother Nina lived at Trinity for almost 11 years, until her declining health sadly necessitated her moving to a long term care facility. She loved living at Trinity and was very happy there; I think these were some of the happiest years of her life The staff is extraordinary and seem to know every resident right down to their stories. The level of care is very high and very personal. It is a happy place, busting with lovely activities and with a warm, caring and friendly atmosphere. We miss the delicious meals and her interesting friends, and we try to visit as often as possible. Each time we do, Nina is made to feel welcome and loved by staff and residents alike. We can't speak highly enough of Trinity. It is a very special place.

I just want to send a message to all the staff at Trinity Lodge. My mom lived there for six wonderful years. She was really well treated from the Front Desk, Nurses, Kitchen and Housekeeping Staff. She passed away last June 12 of this year. I will surely miss this place.

A very welcoming environment and staff (especially Edlyn and Paolo) greeted my family as we looked for the perfect retirement community for our parents. Immediately, we were struck by the genuiness, warmth and willingness to work together to ensure a smooth transition. We also were assured that our parents would be well cared for, safe, engaged and happy. Both of our parents have now moved in and are happily adjusting to their new lifestyles. We are relieved to see the wonderful attention and care they are receiving. I need to make an appointment with my parents now just to see them as they are so busy with new friends and activities! Also, the food is delicious!!
