Heron Grove recently opened in early 2007 and offers seniors multiple levels of care and the ability to age in place. This campus of care includes the main building which houses the assisted and independent living suites; and six 12-bed dementia care cottages.
The main and second floors of the main building consist of 40 one-bedroom Assisted Living suites and is designed for people who qualify for housing and health care assistance according to specific requirements set out by Interior Health Authority (IHA), BC Housing and The Good Samaritan Society. Admission to the Assisted Living program is coordinated through IHA.
All six of the care cottages are a unique duplex designed to create a home-like setting for residents. These are typically residents that require 24-hour professional care for complex and medical conditions including physical and dementia. Each half of the duplex has six bedrooms, a living room with fireplace and secure access to a fenced yard. Each resident bedroom has an ensuite washroom. Residents are included in the daily events of daily living to the extent that they are accustomed and able. Placement into this program will be through Interior Health.
