Long-term care homes provide 24-hour professional care and supervision to adults in a supportive and secure environment. The services are available to people with complex care needs and physical and/or mental health conditions who cannot live safely and independently at home.

Long-term care may also be known as extended care, complex care, residential care, nursing home care or geriatric care facility.

Trained staff assists with personal care and daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, and managing medications. Long-term care also offers a variety of therapeutic and recreational activities.

While services such as meals, laundry, and housekeeping are provided, every effort is made to help you maintain your independence. The goal of VCH is to provide a high level of clinical care in a person-centred manner.
