Building Features

Thoughtfully Designed for Comfort and Convenience

Our 2-storey supportive lodge in Stony Plain is thoughtfully designed to provide all the comforts of home with added care and convenience. 

‍

Whispering Waters Manor offers comfortable studio suites with walk-in showers on both levels. The main floor features a central common area with a fireplace, comfortable furniture, tables for cards and games, an exercise area, and a large communal dining room where residents enjoy three meals and three snacks each day. The building also includes a peaceful second-floor common area, easily accessible by elevator.

‍

From accessible facilities to inviting communal spaces, every aspect of our lodge is created to promote safety, comfort, and a sense of community for seniors. For the safety and well-being of all residents, individuals in need of 24-hour LPN or RN supervision would require a higher level of care than we are able to provide.

Resident Testimonial

Resident

“I was alone, looking after my house, and visiting my husband who wasn’t well. I suddenly decided one day I just couldn’t look after the yard anymore. And I made up my mind that I was going to move to Meridian. I do like it here; it’s really good. It’s really positive. The people here are very very nice and supportive.”
