What families should know

Placement through Island Health — publicly funded placement

Selkirk Seniors Village is a multi-building long-term care and assisted living complex operated by Retirement Concepts on Victoria's Selkirk Waterfront, managed for publicly funded placements by Island Health. To access a publicly funded bed, families must contact Island Health Community Health Services directly rather than the facility; BCSA QuickFacts reports admission waits averaged 320 days historically, so ask Island Health how current waits compare. The facility is known for its waterfront campus setting with a seven-storey complex care tower and adjoining assisted living building, offering on-site amenities including fitness centre, theatre, hair salon, and spa, plus direct access to the Galloping Goose trail and nearby Victoria attractions. Selkirk Seniors Village serves residents requiring long-term and complex care, with both publicly funded and private-pay bed options available. Before proceeding, families should verify current accreditation status (last renewed May 2013; expiry date was 2025), confirm which care level matches the resident's needs, ask about visiting policies and parking fees, and clarify how Island Health's current waits (ask the Health Authority how these compare with BCSA QuickFacts reporting) times (ask the Health Authority how these compare with BCSA QuickFacts reporting) compare to historical averages.
