Intercare

What Intercare does

Intercare Corporate Group Inc. is a privately held Alberta-based continuing-care services provider headquartered in Calgary, founded in 1992. The company operates four facilities in Calgary — Brentwood Care Centre, Chinook Care Centre, Southwood Care Centre, and Kingsland Terrace — with a combined capacity of 1,132 beds across long-term care, hospice, supportive living, and three specialized programs (a 23-bed Special Care Unit for acquired brain injury, a 38-bed Behavioural Support Unit, and a 28-bed Complex Dementia Care Unit). Intercare serves 885+ residents with 1,700+ staff, holding 4 consecutive 'Accredited with Exemplary Standing' awards from Accreditation Canada (most recently April 2026).

The business model is publicly funded: all admissions are coordinated through Alberta Health Services (AHS) / Transition Services, and resident care is reimbursed under provincial continuing-care contracts. Revenue is complemented by government-regulated accommodation fees paid by residents. The company has no proprietary technology platforms — its infrastructure consists of standard healthcare IT and public WiFi for visitors. Its go-to-market is effectively a contracted-provider relationship with a single provincial payer (AHS), supplemented by community outreach, educational partnerships (Columbia College, Bow Valley College, Mount Royal University), and partnerships with Hospice Calgary and the Alzheimer Society of Calgary for caregiver education.

The customer base spans seniors requiring 24/7 nursing care, adults under 65 with neurodegenerative diseases (Kingsland Terrace), individuals with acquired brain injury, complex dementia, or complex behaviours, and hospice/palliative patients. Management is led by President & CEO Bert Evertt and EVP & COO Ian Woodcock. Ownership is management-led with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or M&A activity.
