Island Health's Vision, Purpose, and Values
At Beacon Hill Villa our residents are our number one priority and we are committed to service excellence and providing quality, resident-focused care to support healthy aging.
Model of Medical Care/Physician Organization
Residents at this care home will usually be followed by their current physician, provided that they are able to provide ongoing care. If the resident cannot be followed by their community physician (or if they do not have one), the home will help facilitate the finding of a new physician.
Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)
MAiD is available at Island Health-owned and operated sites and this affiliate sites. Read more detailed information on MAiD, including a guide for patients and families and a link to information provided by the federal government.
