Our Community
A community shaped by place
Living well, together
Rutherford Heights is a senior living community set in the natural beauty of a south Edmonton parkland neighbourhood. A 172-suite community built in 2008, it is warm, well-established, and family-like, with bright suites and inviting common spaces that put you at ease. Life here is about companionship, independence, and enjoying the little things in a beautiful setting.
Activities at Rutherford Heights
Life here has a gentle rhythm to it. A morning might mean a workout in the fitness centre or a seated exercise class, an afternoon in the salon or a quiet stretch by the fireplace in the library. Our wellness centre has a private therapeutic tub for the days that call for it, and our clinical team is on site around the clock, with emergency call bells in every suite and safety checks at mealtimes. There is always something to enjoy, and just as much room to sit back and take the day as it comes.
