There are many praiseworthy things about this community. The woodgrain flowing throughout is very elegant, and we love the newness of everything. The striking thing for us, though, is the community creation here. The sheer number of daily activities, combined with participation from the outside community is unique in our experience. Family and friends routinely participate in organized events, giving Emerald Gardens a special fun-for-all, one-big-family feel to it.

From entrance to a friendly atmosphere and throughout this is always kept spotlessly. Care Staff are cheerful & positive. The other residents are friendly. The dining room offers 2 choices of tasty entrees at meal times and the food is served to individual tables by friendly staff. Occasional Sundays there are buffet-style morning brunches offering superb quality and variety of selections. There is a private dining room that can be booked for private gatherings and enjoy the quality food, freshly made. There are also guest rooms that can be booked for overnight guests at very affordable rates. There is a queen bed, tv, and bathroom with linens. There is an activities room with a piano and pool table, used for regular entertainment events, church services, etc. Several quiet, comfortable sitting areas throughout. Tasteful decor. Well appointed.
My mother-in-law moved in on October 1, 2022, and we've all been very happy with everything so far. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The building is well-maintained and always clean. Meals are usually tasty, she says it's the best mushroom soup she has ever eaten!
There's no other facility like it in Grande Prairie. I really appreciate the people the staff and the friendly environment. It's a very nice building, but it's the people that make the building.
