How we see Aster Gardens

Aster Gardens allows Strathcona County and Sherwood Park seniors to settle in the area they love, while maintaining an excellent quality of life. The best overall quality of this community is its state-of-the-art senior living in all aspects, from independent living to memory care. The most up-to-date technology is used here, ensuring seniors’ personal convenience, protection, and safety. Seniors who move into this community will maintain a healthy lifestyle, living with others who share similar values and history. Pesky daily tasks are taken care of by someone else and you’ll find a community where you can instead focus on an active daily life.

Aster Gardens brings everything current and contemporary in retirement living to the Sherwood Park area of Edmonton. This answers the need for senior care in Strathcona County, but it also brings a truly innovative, fully contemporary approach to senior living. Seniors looking for high quality care no longer need to leave the area.

The community is a joint venture between Optima, Synergy Wellness Centre and Pangman Development Corporation who saw a need for a seniors’ community that creates a meaningful quality of life for seniors. The community brings Optima’s high standards to the area. Among other features of the community, there is a bistro, a pool, a pub and other luxurious amenities.

The beautiful construction of the building and the adaption of the very latest technology here really offsets this community. Some of that has been developed in concert with the Universities of Alberta and Manitoba, exclusively for Optima and Aster Gardens. Top-of-the-line technology is found across the board here, perhaps most noteworthy in the memory care neighbourhood, where people continue to live their best lives thanks to the tools and technology used here, like the Mind Triggers app.

What residents and their loved ones say about Aster Gardens in reviews.

Kevin Wiens, family member

"When I moved my Dad into Aster Gardens almost 2.5 years ago, I told him it was time to live his best life now. It is such a beautiful facility with so many wonderful residents and caring staff. I’m grateful for the time he spent there. "

Marilyn Maclean, senior

"Circumstances provided us with the opportunity for a short term stay of six weeks. We were impressed with the facility, staff & residents. It was a great experience. It would be our choice for full time senior living. "

Aaron Caranahan, family member

"Always very clean and follow great covid protocols! The receptionist Sarah is always very happy and helpful! "

Aster Gardens offers a lifestyle of freedom and choice, where you can keep active in the gym, have fun in our pub, or on our rooftop putting green. Express your creativity in the art studio, read in the library, or relax in the salon, spa and patio. Our concierge books tea times, reserves tables, tickets, and more. Meals are served in multiple dining areas with standard meal times.

At Aster Gardens, you truly can live your best life. We put careful thought into every aspect of our community. Right down to our art collection displayed on our walls are sourced from our local artists. Optima Living's North Star, "Let us welcome you home," speaks to our underlying principles and the experience of seniors living in our community. When residents are home, they have told us that they feel safe, respected and welcomed. For all of us who work here, that is what we are most proud of. We welcome you to your new home, filled with fun, family and friendship, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, hospice and palliative care.

We are happy to welcome you home!

Maya Angelou once said, “Try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.” It feels like it is a rather apt reminder as we continue to navigate the pandemic. While we remember to wash our hands, protect ourselves, and respect others, there are also ways in which we can focus on bringing hope and laughter to our community. Let us live with hope and zest for life even while enduring the challenges set before us. We must continue to stay focused on best practises, express gratitude to the caregivers and frontline workers, and above all continue to live in hope and look for ways to “be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.”

Alberta remains under a state of public health emergency. New Public Health restrictions came into effect starting September 16th to reduce the spread and protect our health care system. Businesses participating in the Restrictions Exemption Program will require patrons or clients to be vaccinated or to show a recent negative test result. Recently, British Columbia announced that it will mandate that all healthcare workers be vaccinated for COVID-19 by October 31st, 2021. British Columbia also announced a Vaccination Passport System, and starting October 12th, all visitors to long-term care and assisted-living facilities will need to show proof they have received at least one dose.
