Sherwood Care

What Sherwood Care does

Sherwood Care is a non-profit continuing care provider operating in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, established in 1969. It delivers Type A long-term care — the highest acuity tier of Alberta's regulated continuing care system — to approximately 100 seniors, supported by roughly 200 staff, 6 physicians, and over 100 volunteers. The organization is CARF Canada accredited and operates under a household model of care grounded in faith-based values, which structures residents into small, self-contained living units rather than traditional ward configurations.

The core service is residential long-term care for complex seniors, with two emerging service lines: a Palliative/Hospiative Care program and an Adult Day Program. Service delivery is integrated with Alberta Health Services, which acts as the principal referral channel and operating funder, and the facility's physical build is being delivered through a contracted relationship with Graham Construction. The technology surface is conventional clinical and operational infrastructure; there is no disclosed AI, digital health platform, or proprietary software product.

The business model is government-funded and non-profit. Operating revenue is generated through Alberta Health Services per-diem payments for continuing care residents, supplemented by resident accommodation charges and donations; there is no commercial product, SaaS, or transaction-based revenue stream. Capital expenditure is principally underwritten by the Government of Alberta, which has committed to covering approximately 78% of new building costs. The organization is currently mid-execution on a transformational redevelopment — a six-storey, 223-bed facility (210 continuing care + 13 hospice/palliative beds) — that will more than double capacity from the current 100 beds upon its targeted late-2027 completion.

Revenue model

1. Government Healthcare Funding: The Alberta government covers 78% of the cost of the new building project. As a non-profit continuing care facility, the primary revenue comes from provincial government healthcare funding through Alberta Health Services contracts, which cover the operational costs of resident care regardless of financial means.
2. Donations and Community Fundraising: As a non-profit organization, Sherwood Care relies on charitable donations and community fundraising efforts to cover the remaining 22% of construction costs for the new building project and to fund special programs and amenities beyond government funding.
