Site is near corner of Metchosin Road and Latoria Boulevard in the Royal Bay area of Colwood.
The province shared more details about a $224-million, 306-bed West Shore communities long-term care residence Thursday.
Island Health owns and operates 811 long-term care beds which increases to 2,170 if contracted beds are included.“This will be one of the most significant, in terms of numbers, long-term care projects that we have ever built on Vancouver Island,” said Dix, “and 306 recognizes a response to the needs of the community, but also represents a significant step in building out publicly owned and operated long-term care beds.
An adult day program will allow people to live independently in the community while receiving services to support their well-being and health, said the province. Dix called the project “historic” and said it has the support of Metchosin, Colwood, Langford, Sooke, View Royal, and Esquimalt. She called on the province to eliminate or drastically reduce home-support fees for seniors within the year, saying most provinces don’t charge for home support, and of those that do, B.C. is the most expensive.
