Covenant Living’s facilities are located in Alberta, including sites in Calgary and Lethbridge. These residences focus on creating supportive environments where seniors can maintain their independence while having access to necessary services and vibrant social communities.

This network collectively addresses the diverse and evolving health needs of the province's population, particularly the aging demographic.
