Long-term care support includes medication and symptom management, personal care, help with mobility and transfers, nutritional and mealtime support, housekeeping and laundry, and advance care planning and end-of-life care.

The interdisciplinary team includes nurses, care aides, physicians, pharmacists, physiotherapists, dietitians and engagement staff, and care planning is carried out with the resident, family and team.

Transitional care helps adults recover and rehabilitate in a non-hospital setting before going home, with a nurse assessment before admission, a personalized care plan, discharge planning and an average stay of 14 to 45 days.

Respite care offers short-term stays that give caregivers a break, from an overnight stay up to six weeks, and can also be a way to try long-term care.

Hospice palliative care is offered in partnership with the Campbell River Hospice Society and includes counselling, pet therapy, music therapy, and relaxation therapies such as reflexology and reiki.

Long-term care residents live in small, private rooms.

The Sunrise Community has 20 single rooms for transitional, respite and long-term care. Each room has a small washroom and shower, an electric bed, an overhead ceiling lift, an armoire, a dresser and a TV with cable and free Wi-Fi.

Hospice palliative care is provided in one-bedroom self-contained suites with a kitchen, in-suite laundry, an accessible bathroom with a wheelchair-accessible shower, a small patio and a separate entrance for visitors. Pets are welcome with approval.

Residents wake when they are ready, with no set time. Bathing routines are flexible, and there are no set visiting hours or bedtime.

Staff are on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and overnight team members help with repositioning, washroom visits and symptom management.

Routine laundry service, weekly housekeeping and daily room care are included. Foot care nurses, dental hygiene, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and hair salon services are available at an extra charge.

Meals are made from scratch daily, and breakfast, lunch and dinner can be eaten in a resident's room or in the dining room. Lunch soups start with homemade stock, and sandwiches come on fresh-baked bread.

Dinner is served between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm with a menu that changes daily, and residents can have a glass of wine with the meal. Coffee and tea are always available, and evening snacks are offered.

Spouses eat free when joining a resident for meals, and family or friends are welcome to join.

The recreation and engagement program includes physical, social, spiritual and recreational activities, such as religious services, music, dancing, bingo, concerts, movies and outings.

Residents can help in the thrift shop, take walks or exercise classes, do puzzles, play crib, or watch a movie by the fireplace or a concert in the solarium.

Shared spaces include a dining room, a living room, a solarium, a bathing room with an accessible soaker tub and a small area with exercise equipment. Laundry is done on site.
