About St. Michael’s Health Group

St. Michael’s has been providing compassionate care and safe accommodation for one of the most vulnerable sectors of our society – seniors. This care is open to all who require it, and providing a quality of life in a home-like environment is the daily focus of our staff. We are dedicated to providing wellness focused holistic care and offer several levels of accommodation in multiple facilities and a variety of programs in Edmonton and surrounding area. With a focus on innovative, quality, resident centred care, our goal is to continually grow and be adaptable to ensure we provide the care seniors deserve.

Who We Are

St. Michael’s Health Group is a healthcare organization that provides long term care, supportive housing, programs and services to the seniors of our community.

Incorporated in 1976 under St. Michael’s Extended Care Centre Society, it was originally created to meet an urgent and growing need for institutional nursing care for individuals of various ethnic backgrounds in the Edmonton area.

With the evolution of our healthcare system and the needs of our aging population changing, St. Michael’s expanded and diversified. A series of partnerships were established with other volunteer organizations, developers, community advisory committees, educational institutions, unions, businesses and suppliers. The organization now offers a variety of programs on and off site, in various geographical settings and also operates several business ventures to help sustain the operations.
