Residential Care (Skilled Nursing Care)

Residents are cared for by a highly trained, professional and caring staff, in a safe and secure environment.

We accept residents requiring intermediate, extended, palliative, dementia and respite care. We have both funded and private pay facilities. Funded facilities must be applied for through Fraser Health.

To ensure intimate, home-like surroundings, each mini-community consists of 18 rooms and its own dining area. Rooms are tastefully decorated in soft colours with comfortable furnishings and ensuite. Residents are encouraged to bring familiar belongings and decorations to create an atmosphere that is familiar to them and to their families.

Fresh, bright colours create an atmosphere that is both cheerful and comforting. The building was designed to make the best use of light, and to provide open space while still providing a feeling of warmth and coziness. Secure gardens provide access to the outdoors for residents who enjoy sunshine and fresh air.
