About GEF Seniors Housing
We provide friendly, affordable, and secure housing and services to nearly 4,000 seniors in Edmonton.
Our vision is to create vibrant, affordable communities for seniors. For our mission, we focus on providing affordable, well-maintained, and secure buildings, where our clients can live with dignity and thrive in their communities with the support of friendly and caring staff and volunteers.
We offer a wide selection of seniors’ self-contained apartments and lodge accommodations throughout Edmonton, to give seniors more choices of where they want to live.
In 2019, GEF Seniors Housing celebrated 60 years of serving Edmonton seniors.
In 1959, our organization was established under provincial legislation as Greater Edmonton Foundation (GEF). In the 1960s the Alberta government built retirement homes throughout Alberta, called lodges, for low-income seniors. The province continued to build these homes until 1984.
Under an agreement between the City of Edmonton and the Alberta government, the City provided land for the buildings and the provincial government built the lodges. Foundations were established to manage the lodges in one or more municipal districts or counties in the province. The Greater Edmonton Foundation was one of these foundations. In 2012, we changed our name to GEF Seniors Housing.
Since 1959, we have continued working with the community as an active partner in the important work of providing quality housing for seniors in Edmonton and its surrounding communities. Our self-contained apartment buildings and lodges offer accessible, affordable and safe housing in comfortable, supportive environments that promote opportunities for seniors to successfully age in place.
