What families should know

Placement through Island Health — publicly funded placement

For a BC family, placement at Acacia Ty Mawr is arranged through Island Health, which assesses eligibility for publicly funded long-term care and manages the waitlist, so you work with Island Health’s Home and Community Care team rather than applying directly to the home. Acacia Ty Mawr is known for its country cottage feel: a small, heritage-house long-term care home nestled among trees, gardens and a secure courtyard, with a lounge and veranda that support a quieter, home-like atmosphere. It sits on Shawnigan Lake Road in the semi-rural village of Shawnigan Lake, with on-site green space and patio areas, and the broader community offers a post office, pharmacy, museum and small restaurants a short drive away. This is a publicly funded long-term care home where residents commonly have complex medical needs and may live with dementia or other cognitive changes, and the operator emphasizes resident-centred care in a smaller-scale environment. BCSA QuickFacts reports that admission waits here range widely, with an average of about 332 days, so treat those numbers as historical context and ask Island Health how current waits compare. Ask about current waitlist status, visiting policies, recent inspection results, and whether this home’s rural setting and care profile fit your family member’s needs and support network.
