The Challenge
Across Alberta, many patients are medically ready to leave the hospital but still occupy acute-care beds because they have nowhere suitable to recover. On average, roughly 18% of acute-care beds are classified as “Alternate Level of Care” (ALC) patients — meaning they have completed required hospital treatment but remain in hospital while waiting for a more appropriate setting.
Families struggle to find safe, supportive environments that allow their loved ones to heal, and hospitals face bed shortages that delay new admissions and procedures. At the same time, many homeowners and investors have properties sitting vacant—or under-utilized—that could be transformed into meaningful, community-based living spaces offering transitional housing and supportive care.
This is the gap NewStep was created to fill.
