Welcome to Sweetgrass


Sweetgrass is modern, bright and spacious with an intimate cottage layout located in Slave Lake, AB. We enjoy a fun, loving atmosphere, with music playing in the cottages and lots of laughter. Our grounds are lovely, with a beautifully trimmed lawn, shrubs, and raised flower beds. A pathway and small bridge connect Sweetgrass with Vanderwell Lodge next door, and visitors are always welcome. Our beautiful two-storey community opened in summer 2015.

We are dedicated to promoting maximum independence, choice, and dignity for each resident and encourage the involvement of family, neighbours and friends.


Let us welcome you home

Justine Patricio

General Manager
Working in health care for over 15 years both on the front lines and in management. I understand that having a great work-life balance, in turn, helps with great team dynamics and cohesiveness. To me, this is the formula that would provide excellent resident care and customer service. Caring for people had always been my passion this includes the team I work with and the residents that we care for. I am happy and excited to be a part of the Sweetgrass family in welcoming you home.
