Independent living manors are one-bedroom apartment units serving singles and couples who are aged 65+. These comfortable units are for seniors who are fully able to cook, clean and live independently.

 

All self-contained units feature a living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and storage closet. Manor tenants organize social events, such as bingo nights, potluck suppers and coffee hours.

​

Operation of self-contained apartments is funded by tenant rent, with capital maintenance funding for major repairs and improvements from Alberta Seniors and Housing.

​

Rent is 30 per cent of income in all self-contained housing apartments. Twelve of the 32 apartments in Diamond Jubilee Manor & Suites operate under the "affordable housing" program and rent is $820 per month.
