Sage Hill, an Optima Living community

My sister and I moved our mom to Calgary from Winnipeg, where she had lived in her own little home until 90. She needed to be close to family, and being very independent, was able to be accommodated in one of Sage Hill's Independent Living suites. As time progressed, and she needed more assistance, it was provided with care and dignity. We cannot say enough about the kindness and friendliness of the staff....everyone from the receptionist to the handyman, the bus driver who drove the scenic tours"

Our family had to find an assisted seniors residence very quickly this past April. Our dad was being released from Hospital and we were told he would not be returning to his own condo or able to drive again. We had about 2 weeks to find quality care and a place that would feel like home to him. We knew this would be a big adjustment for him. From the moment we contacted Wendy at Sage Hill, we knew that this was the place for him. Wendy and the entire team at Sage Hill have been nothing less than amazing in helping us transition our dad to his new home.They are some of the kindest, most compassionate people we have met when it comes to taking care of our loved ones. Our mother was in a number of different senior care homes until she passed away this past Christmas and although they were good, it doesn't compare to Sage Hill. The residents at Sage Hill are an extension of the staff's own family. The love, patience, compassion, kindness and medical care is exactly what he needed. We know and trust that every single person involved in his care team are giving him the best care they can. As he needs assistance with certain tasks, they are always there to ensure he receives it in a timely matter and to fit within his daily schedule.Sage Hill Seniors Residence is a fairly new, beautiful building with wonderful amenities, a variety of activities, freshly prepared food at every meal and bright, clean rooms. We chose a 1 bedroom apartment for our dad with a small kitchenette to make himself snacks, along with a private little patio off his living room, seperate large bedroom bathroom. Its the perfect amount of space for him. The entire building is modern, warm, beautifully decorated and bright with lots of large windows everywhere. I've said to my own kids, I'd be very happy there in my senior years, keep it mind!.We look forward to working with the team at Sage Hill as we all help my dad get settled in, get involved in activities and meet new friends!Thanks to Wendy and the entire team at Sage Hill! You guys rock!

Our mother lived at Sage Hill for one year. As with each resident we’re sure, our mother had her quirks and challenges. However, Sage Hill staff was friendly, generous and responsive in their attentiveness of her, and genuinely caring for her. Our family would highly recommend consideration of Sage Hill for those looking for a supportive, positive assisted-living environment.

I have the honour of working for such a wonderful place. When hired I felt very welcomed into the Sage Hill family. There is never a dull moment. Activities here are some of the best I've seen in most retirement communities. There is a variety activities for all kinds of people, and the volunteers we have here, I believe have made a wonderful addition to our family. All departments have worked hard to make this place what it is!

Sage Hill Retirement Residence offers a warm and welcoming independent living home for seniors. The close relationship with Alberta Health Services means there is a seamless ability to provide extra assistance for seniors when they need it. No extra negotiating with multiple agencies. Their competent team handles it all in-house with staff that the resident sees in the hallways every day.We did not anticipate how important this would be but when our mother’s care needs escalated soon after her move in, we were extremely thankful that she had chosen Sage Hill Retirement Residence. The staff were consistently available and promptly answered our questions and concerns and adjusted her care plan as needed. We had never dared to hope for the care and support she received, one that did not require a move to another facility.Without exception, the staff at Sage Hill were competent, compassionate, respectful and genuinely interested in our mother’s wellbeing. From the front desk staff, to the health care staff, to the caretaker, to the administrative staff, everyone displayed these traits. Obviously, there is a culture of concern that is successfully cultivated at Sage Hill.We would highly recommend Sage Hill!

I had my practicum here as wellness and recreation aid for 6 weeks. The holistic approach to different areas of development such as Cerebral, Emotional, Physical, Social and Spiritual for seniors were so diverse, Well structured and with 100% implementation. As a student I was so grateful and honored for this immersion. ( an in depth mental involvement) I would say that i learned a lot. Then management and the staff were so compassionate, supportive, there was a unique level of Family spirit and caring with grace under pressure.Sage hill all seniors care: they are living with utmost service and care.

My Mom has been in Sage Hill Retirement Residence for more than 2 years - the staff and care givers in this building are caring, attentive and have been extremely diligent, not only throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, but always. This is a wonderful place for my Mom - we feel she is safe and well cared for always.

I first met the staff in 2017 shortly after open and we quickly formed a partnership as a community association and community hub and now a close friendship.
