About Sherwood Care
Sherwood Care is excited about hosting The Grand Parade on Sunday, September 18, 2022!
Sherwood Care is a continuing care facility providing care for individuals who can no longer care for themselves. We are a voluntary organization, owned and operated by Adventist Health Systems - Alberta, a health ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
While our residents and their needs have changed over the 50 years we have been providing care, our commitment to quality care has never wavered. We firmly believe that this is the resident’s home and we are their guests. This philosophy dictates our decisions regarding resident programming and needs. We work diligently to create as much of a homelike environment as we can.
