In 1998, Dr. Hasmukh Patel and Dr. Kabir Jivraj founded AgeCare Ltd. with a corporate mission of developing and managing innovative Supportive Housing and Long Term Care facilities in Alberta. They had previously developed the “aging in place” model in England and introduced the concept to the Palliser Health Region in a successful response to a RFP. They developed the Valleyview Assisted Living and Long Term Care facility in Medicine Hat and applied the same model to the Orchard Manor facility in Brooks a year later.
Within the next 3 years, AgeCare had further developed the Columbia Assisted Living 112 bed facility in Lethbridge, and in April 2003, the Company completed their first acquisition by purchasing Canada Way Care Centre & Lodge, a 240 bed multi-level care facility in Burnaby, BC.
On September 1st, 2004, AgeCare concluded its second acquisition process in purchasing two prominent senior care communities in Calgary: The Beverly Centre Glenmore with 197 Long Term Care beds, The Beverly Centre Lake Midnapore with 187 Long Term Care beds and which includes The Beverly Estate with 50 Assisted Living suites.
The highly qualified executive management team is further complemented with Dr. Hasmukh Patel as the Chief Executive Officer.
Each senior care community has a manager and a professional and qualified team of supervisors who oversee all aspects of the resident care and services. Collectively, we share a vision to be the premier provider of “Communities of Wellness” for seniors in Western Canada where quality personal and professional care services are delivered in an environment where residents feel at home and are able to age with dignity.
