Arrowsmith Lodge

What families should know

Placement through Island Health — publicly funded placement

Arrowsmith Lodge is a publicly funded long-term care home in Parksville, and Island Health says placement is coordinated through its Community Health Services system rather than by contacting the operator directly. The site is known as part of Arrowsmith Health Care’s Campus of Care, with long-term care, assisted living, and respite services on the same campus, which can be helpful for families looking for a continuum-of-care setting. Island Health describes the address as 266B Moilliett St in Parksville, in a location with nearby downtown amenities, so residents and visitors are not far from everyday services. BC Seniors Advocate Quick Facts classifies the home as long-term care, operated by Arrowsmith Health Care (2011) Society, and reports it is accredited. The published quick-facts page does not break out the resident mix by diagnosis, so families should ask Island Health whether the home is best suited to people needing complex care, dementia support, or another level of assistance. Worth checking if the current admission process, waitlist status, and care fit are appropriate for your parent’s needs before you rely on the published listing alone. Families should also ask about visiting hours, accessibility supports, and any recent inspection or quality-review findings so they understand the day-to-day experience there. If you are considering respite first, Island Health also lists this location for booked respite stays, which may help families trial the setting before a longer move.
