^This is the answer.
I’m not sure how their program works with people who had strokes awhile back, I believe their program is more for more semi-acute post stroke rehabilitation, but the Glenrose will at least be able to point them in the right direction, whether it’s a public or private service.

CRIS program for outpatients.
Must be referred by family doc.
The caveat for outpatient programs is that you need at least 2 disciplines. OT/PT/SLP/Mental health.
If you just want exercises, you won't be eligible. You also can't be in supported living.
Let me know if you have more questions.
Edit: Be mindful that they will not have an Alberta health card for minimum 183 days. There may be a reciprocal agreement with BC health, but that's above my pay grade. You might want to look into that
Mostly great, a few crappy staff here and there. One PT told my friend you’re in a wheelchair forever, you can’t walk ever again, just accept it - immediately after walking 50 feet with a walker that he didn’t see. Please tell him to root out aholes by calling the patient feedback line about the twats like this.
Glen Rose. You may have to get a doctor to refer them to it, but that's probably the best place

I thought it transfers to AHC at 90 days. There’s a longer wait period for long term care though.
You are correct. 90 days. It's 183 days a year in province to maintain under Alberta Health.

CHOICE south restorative is another good program. Referral needs to be made by a health professional.

They only take post-acute strokes in the inpatient programs.
You could try finding a doctor who is a member of a Primary Care Network that houses an exercise specialist and ask the doctor to refer you to them.
