With the inventory of long term care housing for seniors on the decline in West Vancouver, Baptist Housing has decided to reconfigure the space in one of the new buildings proposed for the new Inglewood Care Centre, to fully accommodate 120 long term care (LTC) suites.
After consultations between the North Shore Advisory Committee on Disability Issues and Baptist Housing, Inglewood’s accessibility will go far beyond just enabling residents to get around in their own rooms, kitchens and bathrooms, contributing to the best possible lifestyle for the residents living there.
The proposal to replace the long-term care residence at Inglewood Care Centre and create additional housing on the same site in a “Continuum of Care” approach for seniors, has passed a key milestone.
Inglewood will now accommodate an additional 120 long term care homes. Listen to the radio segment here.
It’s not unusual for a seniors living residence to have good accessibility for those with mobility challenges — but the proposed new Inglewood Care Centre will meet a new “gold standard”.
