Smithfield Supporting Housing is a 60-unit structure (built in 2003) which represents an
innovative partnership with the local Regional Health Authority (Aspen) and the local
housing management body (Westlock Foundation). Twenty of these units are designated as
twenty-four hour care which enables aging in place for all seniors.
This facility does not replace long term care, but does enable couples to live together
longer than was previously possible in a typical lodge setting.
The main floor of this building is linked to the Continuing Care Centre and the Westlock Health Care Centre
and provides easy access to those special
services offered, one of which includes dialysis (see Aspen home page for more information).
This facility offers independent living (each suite has kitchen facilities and stacking
washing machine and dryer). The noon meal is included in rent. Size of rooms range
from 488 square feet to 888 square feet. Each suite has wheelchair accessible bathrooms
with separate bedroom, and combined living room and kitchen space and two outside windows
(one in the bedroom and one in the living room area).
Supportive Housing offers the seniors an alternate choice for housing in which
they retain their independence while enjoying a community network of new
friends in a safe and secure environment.

- Housekeeping service (once per week)
- Change of bedding (once per week)
