Sushi Surprise! 🍣
Our chef whipped up a delicious crab & cucumber sushi roll — and wow, it had a bit of a kick! 🌶️ Fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of heat. Absolutely delicious! 😋

At Green Acres Foundation, we see every day the strength, resilience, and care it takes to help those living with memory loss. It is important to plan ahead to reduce stress on caregivers and loved ones living with this disease. We want you to know that you’re not alone. Through a partnership between Green Acres Foundation and Alberta Health Service (AHS), our retirement communities with Memory Care offer safe, secure units and inviting, home-like communal spaces. We provide comprehensive care and compassion for seniors living with moderate to severe dementia who may have a high risk of wandering.

There are many myths of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia which can be harmful and keep those affected from seeking diagnosis and support.
