OUR STORY
Shepherd’s Care Foundation employs more than 550 people and contracts out services for an additional 150 positions to care for its nearly 2,000 residents. The frontline workforce is 95% unionized. Spacious, secure and attractive surroundings allow residents to naturally age-in-place, with the freedom to be as social or as private as they desire. The organization is a leader in creating a person-centred care culture in all it does. A strong sense of community is achieved through a wide choice of opportunities to build friendly and caring relationships.
Originating in 1970, a group of individuals recognized an obvious gap in services for the senior population of Edmonton and felt called to make a difference not only for their parents but also for the wider population. SCF now consists of 50 elected members from four sponsoring churches: Southside Pentecostal Assembly and Millwoods Pentecostal Assembly in Edmonton, Eaglemont Christian Church in Beaumont and Bethel Pentecostal Church in Barrhead. The SCF Board, comprised of 14 members, provides guidance and counsel to the President & CEO through governance policies and strategic directions. Additionally, SCF now draws on foundation membership from a greater group of churches in the Alberta & Northwest Territories District of the PAOC.
OUR MISSON
Celebrate life in a caring Christian environment.
OUR VISION
Be the leader in providing innovative aging-in-place services with excellence.
OUR BELIEFS
We believe that the universe and human life came about through an act of special creation by an infinite personal God who has communicated to human beings through the Bible and in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1; Genesis 1:1).
