Heritage Village

What families should know

Placement through Fraser Health — publicly funded placement

For Heritage Village, placement is managed by Fraser Health, so families usually start with a Home and Community Care assessment and, if long-term care is recommended, the health authority coordinates access to publicly funded beds based on need and availability. This complex care home is known as a Fraser Health–owned, two-storey long-term care community organized into five smaller neighbourhoods, each with its own dining and lounge areas, kitchenettes, hydrotherapy tubs, and ceiling lifts, which can make the environment feel more home-like than an institutional ward. It sits on Topaz Drive in the Sardis area of Chilliwack, in a suburban residential neighbourhood where families will likely be driving or using regional transit rather than walking from a major commercial centre, so checking transit routes and drive times is important. Residents here typically have significant medical or functional needs that can’t be safely managed at home, and BCSA QuickFacts describes it as a Hospital Act long-term care home providing 24-hour nursing, personal care, and support for complex conditions. Ask about how Fraser Health is currently handling access and waitlists for Heritage Village, whether the five-neighbourhood layout would suit their loved one’s cognitive and mobility needs, what visiting and essential-visitor policies are in place, and whether any recent quality reviews or complaint patterns raise questions they want the care team to address.
