Providence Living is fulfilling its plan to embrace the implementation of the innovative long-term care village model into its long-term care facilities.
Providence Living at the Views in Comox, B.C. opened its doors in 2024 to the first of its non-profit long-term care homes to benefit from the innovative village model.
Now their second village home is in the making: Providence Living at The Rivers set to open in early 2028. “This project represents a complete reimagining of what long-term care can and should be,” said Mark Blandford, president and CEO, Providence Living. “We’re creating a community where northern B.C. seniors can live with dignity, joy and purpose through our innovative long-term care village and Home for Us care model.”
Two more homes are planned for the future, one in Quesnel expected to start later this year, and the other in Smithers, expected to start in 2028.
How do they accommodate residents with very advanced dementia? Do they stay in their “home” or do they get moved to a unit with more staff to provide the more intense dependency needs?
