Do you (or someone you know) have any Louis L’Amour novels you’d like to donate to one of our Lodges? Our residents would love them! 💙

We also happily accept book and puzzle donations, which we share from Lodge to Lodge once everyone’s had a chance to enjoy them.

👉Reach out to us at engage@mvsh.ca!

The residents at Aspen Ridge Lodge had themselves a proper East Coast shindig today, kicking things off with a traditional Jigg’s Dinner!

After the hearty scoff (that’s a feast in Newfoundland slang!), an Armchair Travel session ensued, taking everyone on a virtual trip to Newfoundland and Labrador.

Then came more fun... Residents heaved and ho’ed through a lively dice game before being OFFICIALLY ‘screeched in’ with a shot of screech (root beer 😆) and the classic kiss of the frozen cod!

Long may your big jib draw! ⚓⛵

At Mountain View Seniors’ Housing, we believe every senior deserves to age with dignity, respect, and joy. Our lodges and communities are more than just places to live; they’re places to belong, filled with care, connection, and opportunities to thrive.

🎉Day 64 of 65 Days of Celebration!🎉

To celebrate our 65th Anniversary, we created commemorative bookmarks as a keepsake for our residents, staff and community! We handed out these bookmarks at each Lodge during our 65th Anniversary celebrations, and at all our senior self-contained apartments during their annual resident meetings.

We have a few extras, and we’d love to share them with our community! If you’d like one, stop by our office and say hello. It’s a small way to join in the celebration and take home a piece of MVSH history. 💙

🎉Day 62 of 65 Days of Celebration!🎉

We’re almost at the finish line of our 65th Anniversary Celebration, and today we’re honouring something that has always brought smiles, laughter, and even a few dance moves to our lodges... MUSIC! For 65 years, musical entertainment has been at the heart of life at MVSH. From lively performances by talented entertainers to spontaneous sing-alongs, music has always been a way to connect!

Back in 1960, some of the biggest hits were:
✨ Percy Faith’s "Theme from a Summer Place"
✨ Chubby Checker’s "The Twist"
✨ Connie Francis’ "Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool"

Our residents still love these classics, and when the tunes start playing, you’ll often find both residents and staff tapping their toes or even getting up to dance!

🎉65 Days of Celebration - Day 61🎉

Back in 1960, renting a one-bedroom apartment in Alberta cost just $60–$90 per month! Life was simpler, wages were lower, and housing took up a smaller share of everyday expenses. Fast forward to today, and that same one-bedroom unit is nearly 20 times more expensive, reflecting growing communities, modern amenities, and rising costs.

As a Housing Management Body, we’re here to make housing more affordable. Depending on your income, we work alongside the Government of Alberta to provide rent subsidies.

Here are some more average costs from 1960!
🚘A new car.... $2200!
🍔A hamburger.... $0.40!
🥤A bottle of Coke Cola.... $0.10!
🍳A dozen eggs.... $0.57!

While a lot has changed over the past 65 years, the need for a safe, comfortable place to call home hasn’t. We’re proud to have grown and adapted alongside our communities every step of the way. 🏠✨

🎉65 Days of Celebration - Day 60🎉

A lot has changed over the decades… but one thing that’s stayed the same for our residents and staff over the last 65 years is their love for the sweet stuff!

We asked each of our four lodges about their residents’ favourite treats, and the answers were exactly what we expected:

🍨 Aspen Ridge Lodge: Anything with ice cream!
🍰 Sundre Seniors Supportive Living: Ice cream—and Christmas cake!
🥧 Chinook Winds Lodge: Puddings and pies, especially apple.
🍪 Mount View Lodge: Cookies and cakes are the favourites!

And speaking of cookies… check out these adorable Christmas and winter-themed treats created by our talented night baker at Mount View Lodge!
