Continuing Care Accommodation Standards compliance reporting

Description

The Ministry of Assisted Living and Social Services oversees the licensing and compliance monitoring of continuing care homes and supportive living accommodations. The Ministry assures adherence to the requirements and expectations set out in the Continuing Care Act, its regulations, and the associated accommodation and health service standards. Eligible continuing care homes and supportive living accommodations are monitored to assure compliance with these accommodation standards.

The Accommodation Standards aim to ensure high-quality services (e.g. meals, building maintenance, security and housekeeping) that promote the safety, security and quality of life of Albertans in these living environments. Continuing care homes Type A and B are also monitored for compliance to the Continuing Care Health Service Standards, a set of legislated, minimum standards that operators must comply with in the provision of health care (e.g. medication management, care planning, staff training).

Assisted Living and Social Services currently reports publicly on the results of monitoring visits in Continuing Care Homes and Supportive Living Accommodations across the province at http://standardsandlicensing.alberta.ca.

Usage Considerations

  • Accommodation data is collected from licensed operators through the licensing application process.
  • Compliance data is collected by licensing inspectors when they visit accommodations to monitor compliance to the accommodation standards.
  • The data collected is housed in a custom designed database named Accommodation Standards Licensing and Tracking (ASTRAL) System. Accommodation and compliance information from ASTRAL is published to http://standardsandlicensing.alberta.ca in "real time".
  • Compliance information dates back to April 1, 2013 until the date of the dataset. Data contained within this dataset may not match the data at https://standardsandlicensing.alberta.ca/ because of the update frequency as the information on http://standardsandlicensing.alberta.ca is updated in "real time".

Note: The Licensing and Compliance Monitoring Branch, which is responsible for the licensing and compliance monitoring of continuing care homes and supportive living accommodations in Alberta, was transferred from the Ministry of Health to the Ministry of Assisted Living and Social Services in May 2025
