Welcome Home
Pioneer Lodge has been providing home comforts through supportive living for over 60 years. Since 1960, it has served as a welcoming destination for independent seniors seeking a balance of autonomy and assistance in daily life.
Residents of Pioneer Lodge enjoy the freedom and flexibility of independent living, with added support for tasks such as meal preparation, housekeeping, and laundry. This allows individuals to focus on what matters most—spending their time how they choose, participating in community activities, and enjoying meaningful connections.
Seniors aged 65 and older are welcome to apply for residency. If additional health support is needed, residents can access Home Care services through the Saskatchewan Health Authority to determine if supportive services are a good fit.
What is Funcational Independence?
Operating strictly under the Alberta Housing Act, Pioneer Lodge has no medically trained individuals on staff. Our local Home Care (SASK Health) is contracted by AB Health to provide scheduled care services to residents, a great support on-site in the Pioneer community. We cultivate a close relationship with Homecare towards the primary goal of ensuring residents are well and enjoying the highest personally attainable quality of life. Contact the Pioneer Lodge care planner through the Lloydminster Homecare office to see if there are additional supports available that fit your needs.

Flexibility
Pioneer applies for Alberta Lodge Assistance Program funding, which allows us to provide rent reductions for those who qualify. If this reduction is not sufficient, we will work with residents to explore further assistance, ensuring they have enough for personal necessities such as medication or Home Care services. Please call or book an appointment to learn more about available financial support.
Additional support toward the cost of some appliances, and specific health and personal supports can be found through Seniors Financial Assistance programs | Alberta.ca.
