Bethany Care Society

Bethany Care Society Bethany is a provider of seniors’ services and affordable housing in communities across Southern Alberta. We create caring communities.

Bethany is a faith-based provider of seniors’ services and affordable housing in communities in central and southern Alberta. We provide a variety of housing and care options, ranging from independent living to supportive living, continuing care, specialized dementia care and community services. Our residents benefit from holistic care of the mind, body and spirit and we believe in supporting indi

viduals through varying stages of life. Our priority is seniors, but we also serve persons with disabilities and have limited affordable housing available to low-income families. At Bethany, we believe that seniors should have the freedom to enjoy their lives and are dedicated to excellence in care delivery for all of our residents.

✨ Service Excellence Awards Spotlight ✨

The Excellence in Continuous Improvement Award recognizes an individual who has introduced ideas or approaches that improve the resident or tenant experience through innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to better care.

Congratulations to this year's honouree, Randy, Health Care Aide at Bethany Calgary.

Recognizing that many residents living with dementia experienced increased agitation during personal care, Randy introduced a personalized comfort approach based on each resident's life history, preferences, and routines. By sharing these insights with the care team and modelling dementia-friendly communication techniques, he helped create more consistent, person-centred care.

His initiative has reduced distress during care, improved communication between staff, and helped residents feel calmer while preserving their dignity. Families have also expressed appreciation for the way staff understand their loved ones as individuals.

Thank you, Randy. Through your innovation, leadership, and commitment to continuous improvement, you have made a meaningful difference for residents, families, and your colleagues.

🐾 Volunteer Spotlight: Meet Monty!

Meet Monty, an eight-month-old puppy whose gentle nature and loving personality have quickly made him a favourite among residents and employees at Bethany Sylvan Lake.

Monty's story began thanks to Jasmine, one of Bethany's Recreation Assistants, who fosters dogs through Saving Grace. When Bethany Volunteer Coordinator Kristie and her family agreed to puppy-sit him for a weekend, they never imagined how much little Monty would change their lives. What was meant to be temporary quickly became forever.

Now, Monty shares that same calm and caring spirit with Bethany residents. Whether he's offering gentle puppy kisses, patiently sitting for treats, or simply spending time with someone who needs it. Kristie says "watching the smiles he brings to residents is something truly special."

Animal visits like Monty's play an important role in supporting emotional wellbeing and reducing feelings of loneliness. We're grateful to Monty and Kristie for the joy and connection they bring to the Bethany community 💙
