Veterans’ Health Centre

General Info

The Veterans’ Health Centre opened on April 27, 2002 and serves as a permanent home for veterans. 

The health centre was designed with a warm and friendly atmosphere in mind where residents have access to both intimate and social surroundings.

A designated area for terminally-ill residents allows staff to provide the appropriate palliative care and gives families the opportunity to accompany their loved ones.

 

Our mission

Provide extended quality health care services based on the overall and individual needs of each resident and their family.

 

Our general goal

Offer personalized care and services with a holistic approach that maximizes the health of each resident and, once the end of life nears, help residents die with dignity in a respectful environment.

Services

The health centre includes two care units with 20 beds each and private and semi-private bedrooms.

Unit 200 generally accommodates residents with physical challenges (e.g., problem walking, mobilization in a wheelchair, etc.).

Unit 300 accommodates residents with cognitive deficits (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease). 

The Department of Veterans Affairs Canada (DVAC) is responsible for screening future admissions to the health centre.

Visiting Hours

Every day, from 8:00 a.m. to midnight

Visitors and family members are asked to respect the rest periods of residents.

After regular hours, people can speak to the security guard if they want to see a resident. Requests will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
