Where care meets comfort: New long-term care homes for BC seniors
The Long-term care (LTC) Program’s Mission at Island Health is to foster a vibrant and innovative long-term care community that nurtures and inspires hope, choice, and meaning.
To address the region’s growing and aging population, increasingly complex healthcare needs, and the significant need for more long-term care on Vancouver Island, we're building three new LTC homes in Campbell River, Nanaimo/Lantzville and Colwood.

Nanaimo/Lantzville
Colwood
Design Concepts and Features
Each LTC home will include a child daycare, adult day program, and hospice beds.
The homes will incorporate lessons learned and principles of Dementia Villages, and provide ready access to outdoor and walking spaces.
While each project will be unique to its site and community needs, a primary focus of the initiative is to provide consistent functional design elements across all locations to ensure equitable services and care for all residents.
