Gef Seniors Housing

We provide friendly, affordable and secure housing and services to close to 4, 000 seniors in Edmonton. Our vision is to positively influence seniors' quality of life in everything we do and our mission is to be leaders in friendly, affordable and secure housing and services for seniors. We offer a wide selection of seniors' self-contained apartments and lodge accommodations throughout Edmonton, to give seniors more choices of where they want to live. In 2019, GEF Seniors Housing celebrated 60 years of serving Edmonton seniors. In 1959, our organization was established under provincial legislation as Greater Edmonton Foundation (GEF). In the 1960s the Alberta government built retirement homes throughout Alberta, called lodges, for low-income seniors. The province continued to build these homes until 1984. Under an agreement between the City of Edmonton and the Alberta government, the City provided land for the buildings and the provincial government built the lodges. Foundations were established to manage the lodges in one or more municipal districts or counties in the province. The Greater Edmonton Foundation was one of these foundations. In 2012, we changed our name to GEF Seniors Housing. Since 1959, we have continued working with the community as an active partner in the important work of providing quality housing for seniors in Edmonton and its surrounding communities. Our self-contained apartment buildings and lodges offer accessible, affordable and safe housing in comfortable, supportive environments that promote opportunities for seniors to successfully age in place.
