Icelandic Harbour is a publicly subsidized assisted living residence in Vancouver operated by Icelandic Care Home Hofn Society. The residence has 77 AL units in a half-concrete, half-wood-frame building at 2020 Harrison Drive in South Vancouver, overlooking the Fraser River. The Icelandic Care Home Hofn Society operates the residence with a cultural connection to the Icelandic-Canadian community. The building's South Vancouver location, near the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood, puts residents close to the Fraser River edge with ample on-street parking for visitors on Harrison Drive. The assisted living model is designed for residents who can balance independent living with the support they need; individualized service plans are developed for each resident. AL care supports include help with daily activities, medication management, meals, and recreation programming. Access to the publicly subsidized AL suites at Icelandic Harbour is managed through a Vancouver Coastal Health assessment. Families starting the process contact Vancouver Coastal Health Home & Community Care to request a clinical assessment; once eligibility is confirmed, the resident is added to the waitlist for placement at Icelandic Harbour or another suitable site.
