Victoria Chinatown Care Centre

Residents receive 24-hour nursing care and support from an interdisciplinary team.

Care services include nursing and personal care, medication management, access to physicians and health professionals, pharmacy services and occupational therapy, as well as support for complex health needs and end-of-life care.

As a publicly subsidized long term care home, all admissions are managed by Island Health through a case manager.

The home has 30 private rooms and one shared room, and each room includes a two-piece bathroom.

Each floor has comfortable lounge and dining spaces, and residents have access to a garden courtyard and shared living areas.

Rooms are furnished with a bed, closet and drawers, with bed linens and window coverings provided, and all living areas and resident rooms receive regular housekeeping.

Meals and snacks are prepared on site daily in the home's own kitchen, with menus planned by a Registered Dietitian.

Meals follow a four-week menu cycle, residents choose between two options at each meal, and special diets and texture modifications are prepared to meet individual needs.

Daily life offers meaningful engagement through recreation, music, cultural activities and social connection.

Volunteers offer companionship, support recreation and cultural activities, share music and games, accompany residents on neighbourhood walks and help care for the courtyard garden. Volunteers who speak Mandarin or Cantonese help residents connect in their preferred language.

Victoria Chinatown Care Centre is at 555 Herald St, Victoria, BC V8W 1S5, in the heart of downtown Victoria's Chinatown.
