Rivercrest Care Centre

Rivercrest Care Centre is a continuing care home in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, offering nursing home care, skilled nursing, hospice care, and palliative care in one setting. It operates as a long-term care service provider with Alberta Health Services. That combination matters for families thinking past the immediate placement, because a resident whose needs change over time can often stay in familiar surroundings with staff who already know them rather than moving to a different home.

The home sits at 10104 101 Ave, about 1.9 km from the Fort Saskatchewan city center and roughly 2.49 km from Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital. For visiting family, it is about a 15 minute drive from northeast Edmonton and Sherwood Park, which makes regular weekday visits realistic rather than an all-day undertaking. The downtown core is close enough that shopping and professional offices are easy to fold into a visit, and the immediate area earns a walk score of 74 out of 100, described as very walkable.

Accommodations include both semi-private and private rooms. Rivercrest also allows residents to transfer to a different room when one better suits them, with a reasonable turnaround time. That flexibility is worth understanding when you tour, since a resident’s preferences around light, noise, and privacy often become clearer after the first few weeks than they were on move-in day.

Daily support covers full meal service along with professional care staff. Medication is provided under the guidance of outside physician services and pharmacists, so prescribing and dispensing are handled with clinical oversight rather than left to families to coordinate. The home describes its aim as a home-like environment, which fits the scale and the mix of hospice and palliative care alongside longer-term nursing care. For families weighing a home where end-of-life care may eventually be part of the picture, having palliative and hospice services already in place is a meaningful part of what Rivercrest offers.
