Health Cities is seeking expressions of interest from vendors offering solutions that can safely and sustainably support Alternate Level of Care (ALC) residents, particularly those with complex mental health, addiction, and behavioural needs.

We are targeting practical solutions that address the critical intersection of workforce capability, physical environment, and workflow readiness. In collaboration with a participating supportive living partner, this initiative will test and evaluate technologies designed to:

  • Improve the physical environment and infrastructure to accommodate complex needs safely
  • Reduce staff reliance on manual effort, workarounds, and memory
  • Equip staffing models with the tools, training, and support structures required for higher acuity care
  • Streamline workflows to allow staff to focus on direct resident care
  • Support a safe, dignified, and recovery-oriented living environment

Selected solutions must be deployable within a functioning congregate care environment, require reasonable levels of onboarding and training, and be ready for a practical pilot with the potential to expand to additional sites across Alberta.

Please note that if a company offers multiple distinct solutions addressing these priority areas, a separate submission is required for each.
