The largest dementia care residential complex in southern Alberta opened on Tuesday in the southeast Calgary community of Southview. It was funded jointly by the Bethany Care Society and Alberta Health, plus capital debt financing and a $5-million fundraising campaign. Of the 210 new beds, 120 will be dedicated to complex dementia care. Bethany Riverview is a newly built, 200,000-square-foot dementia care centre in southeast Calgary. (Bethany Care Society)Staff wear street clothes rather than uniforms, and meals are served from a residential-style kitchen after it's prepared in a larger-scale kitchen tucked away downstairs.
