Gene Zwozdesky Centre at Norwood will be home to residents in need of complex continuing care—a continuum of services for those with chronic disease or disability—for young or old, minimal to full care. Located together with the Royal Alexandra Hospital and the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital in north central Edmonton, it consists of three components: the new resident tower, the outpatient clinic block housing the Comprehensive Home Option of Integrated Care for the Elderly (CHOICE) Program, and the renovated Angus McGugan Pavilion (AMP). The project will increase the number of post-acute, complex long-term care and palliative care beds from the current 205 to 350, with a focus on a more cohesive community experience for residents, staff and visitors.
