Island Health has announced Park Place Seniors as the preferred proponent to own and operate 40 new community care beds.
Park Place Seniors owns and operates the New Horizons residential care facility in Campbell River and will build a new residential care wing on its existing facility to house the 40 new publicly-funded beds. The operator will also be building five new private pay beds at the same location for a total residential care capacity of 126 publicly-funded and 13 private pay beds.
Island Health and Park Place Seniors will work toward finalizing a project development agreement early in 2015. Construction is expected to take 21 months, with the new wing to open in 2017. Construction costs of the new facility will be in the range of $9 million, with annual operation costs for the 40 beds, funded by Island Health, in the range of $2 million.
