The Boulevard
Our new licenced care facility opened in December 2014 to replace our West Vancouver facility. The new facility is a 10 bed home providing psychosocial rehabilitation services for men and women living with severe mental health issues. The house is staffed 24 hours a day and is licensed under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act. Staffing includes a Manager of Care who is a Registered Psychiatric Nurse, a weekend nurse (RPN) and Mental Health Workers. People living in the house use staff support to develop individual rehabilitation plans focusing on symptom management, activities of daily living and personal management. The goal for each individual is to return to living in the most productive, independent way possible. Since we focus on the individual and their timetable for recovery, there is no "average" length of stay.
