Unit 1A & Unit 2B: Acute dementia

Unit 1A and 2B are each 30 bed acute care units which provide assessment and treatment for patients who have organic disorders and are demonstrating moderate to severe responsive behaviors. These behaviors may include aggression, resistance to care, and sexual inappropriateness. Common diagnoses include Alzheimer’s, and Vascular Dementia.

Upon discharge, patients are placed in the most suitable and supportive community living environment. A large number of patients go to continuing care facilities.

Covenant Health would like to acknowledge that what we refer to as Alberta is the traditional ancestral territory of a diversity of Indigenous peoples and home to Treaty 6, 7, and 8. We honor the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika, the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland. We recognize and give thanks to the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations, all who continue to grace these lands, and all future generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
