Gemstone Care Centre is a 130-bed long-term care home in Kamloops, BC, operated by Trellis Seniors Services and opened in 2013. Situated on the North Shore in the Brocklehurst neighbourhood with views of the Thompson River, the home is organized into small neighbourhoods of 15 private bedrooms, each with its own dining room and outdoor access.
