Parkside Care

What families should know

Placement through Northern Health — publicly funded placement

Placement into Parkside Care is managed by Northern Health, so families generally begin by contacting Northern Health’s Home and Community Care team for an assessment and, if long-term care is appropriate, admission from the regional waitlist into this publicly funded long-term care home. Parkside Care operates under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act as a Northern Health–run complex care home, and it is part of the health authority’s network of long-term care sites in Prince George. It sits on Ospika Boulevard in a residential part of Prince George with nearby shops and green space, and visitors can usually combine trips with errands at close-by commercial areas such as Spruceland. HealthLink BC notes that Northern Health long-term care sites serve adults with complex medical needs who can no longer live safely at home, so residents here typically need 24-hour nursing support, help with daily activities, and often have multiple chronic conditions or cognitive changes such as dementia. BC Seniors Advocate (BCSA) QuickFacts provides context on Northern Health long-term care homes overall, including reported admission waits, so it is important to ask Northern Health how current waits and available programs at Parkside compare to those published figures. Ask about current waitlist status, visiting policies, and whether this setting matches your family member’s care needs.
