The Wild Rose Villa Lodge in Boyle required a major addition and renovation to provide more available spaces and to update current suites to meet today’s standards for size and accessibility. The existing lodge was renovated and converted into a 22-suite Designated Assisted Living facility run by Alberta Health Services. The new build, two-storey linked addition comprises 32 bachelor suites and 4 one-bedroom suites. Wild Rose Villa Lodge now provides 58 suites in total.

The lodge’s safety was improved with the addition of a sprinkler system to the entire facility. This project entailed complex phasing since residents were living on-site throughout construction. Permanent services, including an operational kitchen, were required during the addition and renovation phases. Ensuring residents’ safety during the phased renovation/addition was a primary concern throughout the project.
