This act governs public housing and affordable accommodation, as well as the establishment of Housing Management Bodies, many of which operate seniors lodges in Alberta.
The Continuing Care Health Service Standards (CCHSS) are a legislated requirement of operators pursuant to the Continuing Care Regulation under the Continuing Care Act.
