About Extendicare - Athabasca
Nestled alongside the mighty Athabasca River and amongst the land of the Whispering Hills, the beautiful town of Athabasca is only 90 minutes northeast of Edmonton.
Once contender for provincial capital, this rural town nestled in the Boreal forest is thriving and growing. Athabasca was the winner of the 2005 Community in Blooms competition and also boasts a wide variety of wildlife. Deer can frequently be seen grazing near the home. A diverse economic base of agriculture, forestry, oil and gas and Athabasca University all make Athabasca a wonderful place to live.
Extendicare Athabasca is home to 50 residents in a quiet, residential neighbourhood in the south end of town.
Extendicare Athabasca believes that our Wellness Model incorporates the care our residents need, in an environment that supports their preferred lifestyles. By building a culture of support within the principles of wellness, we try to ensure that our residents truly are at home.
Community partnerships, focused initiatives and committees, ensures that Extendicare Athabasca is leader and current in best practice.

Also as part of the Arrangement, Extendicare’s wholly owned subsidiary, Assisted Living Concepts, Inc., which operated the majority of Extendicare’s assisted living facilities, was distributed to Extendicare's REIT unitholders, with its shares (symbol: ALC) listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
