Excel Society Presents - The Balwin Villa

Balwin Villa is a 105 unit enhanced designated assisted living facility located at 6920 - 128 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta. It is the site of the North Edmonton School. The school has been closed for approximately one and a half years. It is comprised of a 1917 school and a 1955 school. Excel Society has purchased the site from the Edmonton Public School Board and plans to redevelop the site by demolishing the interior of both schools and redesigning them to house barrier free suites for people with mental health issues. A new building will be constructed and joined to the other two buildings. The auditorium in the 1955 school will remain "as is" and be available for use by the Balwin Community as well as Excel Society. Remaining green space on site will be maintained by the City of Edmonton for playground and park use. The 105 units will all be barrier free and designed to house 16 subsidized brain injury clients in the 1917 building, 19 private pay dementia clients in the 1955 building, 6 private pay dementia clients and 64 subsidized dementia clients in the new addition. Alberta Health Services is providing staffing dollars for the subsidized units. Alberta Seniors and Community Supports is providing $7 million towards construction of the approximately $20 million project.
