Residents and seniors in the Comox Valley will soon have access to high-quality and innovative dementia care within a state-of-the-art long-term care home.
Based on the concept of a dementia village, the home is under construction on the site of The Views long-term care home and the former St. Joseph’s General Hospital.
In February 2020, Island Health signed a project development agreement with Providence Living to redevelop a care community to replace The Views. The new care home will include 155 publicly funded beds and one private pay bed.
The dementia care village will offer a new care and staffing model called Home for Us. Care will shift from the traditional model of care to a new social/relational model of care that integrates a person-centered approach to care.
When complete in 2024, the home will consist of small, self-contained households of 12 private rooms each with a bathroom. Care staff will be common to each household, fostering interpersonal connection between residents and caregivers.
