  • Bethany Recognized as one of Alberta’s Top 75 Employers

    It gives me great pleasure to announce that Bethany Care Society has once again been acknowledged as one of Alberta’s Top Employers! This marks the 12th consecutive year that we have received this special designation that recognizes Bethany as an exceptional place to work.

    Top Employer is a distinction bestowed on only 75 organizations across the province. It is an affirmation of our organization’s efforts to attract and retain the very best talent. It also acknowledges the dedicated professionals within Bethany who bring life to our mission, vision and values every day.

    Being recognized as one of Alberta’s Top Employers would not be possible without each of you, our exceptional People of Bethany. Here are just a few of the reasons why we were selected as one of Alberta’s Top Employers for 2019:

    • Bethany supports new mothers with maternity leave top-up payments to 100% of salary ranging from 6 to 8 weeks.
    • Bethany offers two annual post-secondary academic scholarships to employees’ college or university-bound kids.
    • Bethany invests in the development of its workforce, offering tuition subsidies (up to $1,000 per year) for accredited courses and programs.
    • Bethany helps employees plan for the longer term with retirement planning assistance services along with defined benefit, defined contribution and matching RSP plans, varying with employee group — employees nearing retirement may also have the opportunity to adopt phased-in work options.

    I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for all your hard work and dedication over the past year.
    With appreciation for all that you do,

     

    — Jennifer

  • Our Corporate Team move is complete!

    As of February 11th, the final members of our corporate team have moved to their new space in Riverview Village, and joined our campus of care. This is a celebration of a new chapter in Bethany’s journey, as we are delighted to have our entire Corporate team in the same vicinity. We know that this is a place where employees will look forward to coming to work every day and delivering exceptional service — to their colleagues, our residents, their families, our volunteers and community partners.

    We are proud of our entire team of Bethany employees and are pleased to welcome the Material Management and Quality teams to Riverview Village.

  • Bethany Riverview Celebration — Thank you!

    When you have passion, you can do amazing things. Bethany Riverview is a celebration of the work of all our employees, volunteers and donors across the organization.
     
    This is a labour of love from all those who worked many hours to keep Bethany operating during the planning, construction and opening of Bethany Riverview.
     
    Jennifer McCue, Bethany’s President and Chief Executive Officer, has a deep sense of pride when she thinks of everyone at Bethany and their passion for seniors. They come to work every day and bring their best. We are a caring organization and caring is who we are at our core.

     

    This has been a busy couple of years for Bethany and to all those involved in making this dream come to fruition — we are forever grateful. You have worked hard to make Bethany Riverview southern Alberta’s largest purpose-built dementia care residence.
