Welcome to Sweetgrass

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

A modern, bright, and spacious community 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. Our beautiful two-storey Independent Living community opened in summer 2015.
