Nestled on the banks of the Sturgeon River in the City of St. Albert, Careadon Village is a brand new 163-suite retirement community for healthy living boasting 85 kilometers of breathtaking, peaceful walking trails just outside the door. Today’s new aging revolution has brought significant changes in how we plan and approach our retirement years. Canadians boomers are setting historical new trends of what ‘retirement’ really means by embracing age through positive, youthful proactive attitudes and lifestyles.
Healthy living doesn’t just mean eating tasty nutritious age appropriate meals to nourish our bodies, or to participate in stretchy exercise that keeps us limber and mobile. Healthy living also includes downsizing our houses in exchange for comfortable homes without all the maintenance giving us more time and freedom to live the life we want, whether it’s going on new adventures such as hiking, taking an Italian cooking class or maybe it’s getting into woodworking or creating new craft ideas in the craft room by yourself or with others on a project. Perhaps you simply want more freedom to slow down and relax and not be tied down to cleaning a big house, shoveling snow or mowing the lawn. For most of us who are maturing in age, this new ‘free independent living’ is what we strive for. If this is the lifestyle for you then Careadon Village is the community for you. At Careadon our mission is to support and facilitate Canadians through their retirement years by providing the opportunity to live in comfort with built in amenities and conveniences to encourage happy and healthy living.
A superb location to support your healthy lifestyle!
Careadon Village is a perfect balance of nature and urban living.

Why Careadon stands out from the rest!
We are rock solid.
- The Careadon retirement building is a solid concrete building (9” thick concrete on every floor from the underground parkade all the way to the roof top!).
- Steel stud walls: This building does not have wood studs in its walls, the walls are built with steel studs.
- Worried about noise from your neighbour, we fixed that? The sound barrier between suites contains 5/8” thick fireguard drywall, steel studs, Roxul safe and sound insulation (fire and sound proofing insulation), a 5” air space and then repeated again from the adjoining suite (doubled) for exceptional sound proofing quality.
