Our History
The Allen Gray Continuing Care Centre is a non-denominational home named after the Right Reverend Henry Allen Gray, the first Anglican Bishop of Edmonton.
​
Sparked by a suggestion from Mrs. P. Debney, a group of friends started a fund to build a convalescent home for women. In 1952, the Gray House Guild, a voluntary, non-profit society, was officially organized. Through negotiations with the Alberta Government, the direction was changed and an auxiliary hospital was planned and constructed.
The Board of Management was appointed, a Medical Staff established and the official opening was held in January 1963.
​
The operation of the facility is funded by provincial payments through a Cooperation and Services Agreement with Alberta Health Services.
The Allen Gray Continuing Care Centre is owned and operated by the Gray House Guild.
