Norwood is located in central Edmonton, across from the Royal Alexandra Hospital and beside the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. Once a traditional long-term care centre with 205 beds, Norwood now offers a mix of programs which include post-acute care, a palliative hospice and complex long-term care in an environment that supports choice, autonomy and, where possible, independence. Norwood's specialized programs are:
Alternative Level of Care:
- For individuals with stable medical conditions who no longer require treatment in acute care, but require further assessment to determine the optimal living option (home care, supportive living or long-term care).
Chronic Ventilator Unit (Red Eagle Ridge):
- For individuals with significant chronic illness and complex health needs who require ventilation.
- Health team includes 24-hour Respiratory Therapists to support ventilator care.
Restorative Care:
- Support for individuals, often frail seniors, who wish to return to their home/community after an acute episode which required hospitalization.
- Provides continued rehabilitation, clinical care and discharge planning to ensure a successful return to home.

- Provides continued rehabilitation, clinical care and discharge planning to ensure a successful return to home.
