What families should know

Placement through Island Health — publicly funded placement

Island Health manages placement at Dufferin Place; families should contact an Island Health Community Health Services office for publicly funded long-term care access rather than approaching the operator directly. This long-term care home is known for its single-storey structure with three wings around a central activity/dining area, ceiling lifts throughout, and amenities like lounges, a hair salon, and outdoor patios; it sits on the same property as Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Located in Nanaimo on hospital grounds, it offers proximity to medical services with Coast Salish peoples and Snuneymuxw First Nation territory recognition. It serves residents over 19 but is not suitable for elopement risks as it lacks secure features. Ask about availability, waitlists, and fit via Island Health, and confirm accreditation status expiring in 2026.
