Father Lacombe Care Society

What Father Lacombe Care Society does

Father Lacombe Care Society is a Calgary-based, non-profit continuing care provider founded in 1910 by the Sisters of Providence, making it Calgary's oldest Catholic continuing care organization. The society operates 274 residential care beds across two purpose-built facilities in the Midnapore neighbourhood: Father Lacombe Care Centre (114 beds, opened 1965, long-term care) and Providence Care Centre (160 beds, opened January 2016, supportive living, memory care, and long-term care), plus a Father Lacombe Adult Day Program serving approximately 85 community-dwelling seniors. The underlying service model is a person-centred, neighbourhood-concept design where each neighbourhood houses 8–30 suites with shared dining rooms, living rooms, recreation rooms, and country kitchens, supplemented by on-site physician services, occupational and physical therapy, recreation therapy, pastoral care, social work, and dietitian consultation.

The business model is funded primarily through Alberta Health Services, which covers nursing, medical, therapy, social work, and dietary services, and is the sole referral channel for residential admissions via the AHS Transition Services placement system. Resident accommodation fees, set annually by the Government of Alberta on July 1st, cover non-medical services (meals, housekeeping, pastoral care, building costs) and are supplemented by donations channeled through the FLCC Foundation. The society is accredited through Accreditation Canada's Qmentum program (every four years) and holds COR workplace safety certification since 2014. As a registered charity, excess revenue is reinvested in resident care rather than distributed to shareholders. Operations are governed by a Board of Directors (chaired by Terry Downey) under the ownership of the Sisters of Providence, with senior leadership including CEO Rosanne Yaremko, Director of HR Aron MacKenzie, Director of Care PCC Llan Howes, and Director of Administration Audrey Clancy.
