Our Approach to Care
Our History
Caritas Health Group is Alberta's largest faith based provider of health care. The Edmonton General Continuing Care Centre, the Misericordia Community Hospital and the Grey Nuns Community Hospital are the three health care facilities that make up Caritas Health Group. Together these facilities have served Edmonton over 110 years.
 
Our faith is expressed through the care we provide and openly offer our programs and services to all walks of faith.

Our Model of Care
The Caritas mission of Healing the Body, Enriching the Mind and Nurturing the Soul directly informs and contributes to our work in continuing care and seniors wellness. Our intent is to provide compassionate care to those we serve and to live our mission to the fullest with every gesture and decision we make.

We believe in providing resident-centred care, creating an enabling environment that promotes autonomy and a meaningful quality of life and focusing on wellness and healthy aging. This includes:

- Focusing on wellness and healthy aging through physical, emotional and spiritual activities.

- Involving residents and family members in the care community.

- Facilitating a team environment where staff work together and communicate well in order to enhance resident experiences.

- Creating spaces and opportunities that promote community.

Did you know that...

Caritas takes its name from Latin for "love" and "charity." The name was chosen upon the merger of our three facilities to reflect the traditions and values of our two founders: the Sisters of Charity (Grey Nuns) and the Misericordia Sisters.
