The Residence in Mission

What families should know

Placement through Fraser Health — publicly funded placement

Placement at The Residence in Mission is coordinated by Fraser Health, so families start by contacting Fraser Health Home Health for an assessment and case manager referral into publicly funded long-term care rather than applying directly to the home. This three-storey long-term care home is organized into eight small “neighbourhoods,” each with its own dining and lounge spaces and access to a shared country kitchen, and it is known for offering specialized services for dementia, bariatric needs, peritoneal dialysis, complex care, respite, and behaviour transitional support. The building sits on Hurd Street directly behind Mission Memorial Hospital, giving residents quick access to acute care if needed and putting families near medical and diagnostic services. Fraser Health notes that public transit is available nearby and that visitors can use either an underground lot or surface lot, which is convenient for families who drive in from other parts of Mission or the Fraser Valley. According to BCSA QuickFacts, this is a fully publicly funded long-term care home operated by Fraser Health under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act, serving seniors with significant physical or cognitive care needs rather than those looking for more independent assisted living. Inside, residents have single or double rooms with basic furnishings, can bring some personal items, and share indoor common areas and landscaped outdoor courtyards and balconies, which can help the space feel more home-like. Families should verify with Fraser Health how current wait times for this home compare to the broader Fraser Health averages reported in BCSA QuickFacts, and whether the specialized programs (such as dementia care or dialysis support) match their loved one’s needs. It is also important to ask about the latest visiting policies, security measures (like WanderGuard and keypad exits), and the most recent licensing inspection findings so you are comfortable with day-to-day safety and quality of care.
