Designated supportive levels in assisted living

Supportive living in Edmonton falls under the auspices of Alberta Health Services. It’s available to seniors who need help with basic tasks of daily living, a list which includes bathing, feeding, and dressing, and more. Supportive living in the province falls under two separate categories, Designated Supportive Levels 3 and 4.

Designated Supportive Living 3 (DSL3) offers the required care supports for those who require intermittent care. For example, care at this level may include help with some very basic daily tasks like bathing. It includes meals, housekeeping, linen and recreational services. Seniors who are still capable of moving independently are suited for DSL3, and communities listed above are suitable for seniors in this category.

Designated Supportive Living 4 (DSL4) offers a bit more support including specialized dementia care. Individuals with more complex medical needs that are predictable and safely manageable with the help of professional nursing (LPN level) require this level of care. DSL4 includes things like chronic disease management, full help with feeding (including tube feeds), as well as transferring.

This level of support may not be available at some homes listed above. Consult with each for more details.

You can access full definitions of supportive living levels from AHS.

The benefits of assisted living retirement homes

At the communities listed above, you will also be able to take in the finest hospitality services (including meals, housekeeping services, laundry services and the like) as well as 24-hour emergency response and related security. They also offer the advantage of allowing couples with varying care needs (perhaps one spouse being very independent) to remain together in one place.
