A provincial association is raising the alarm over the cancellation of a proposed long-term care facility in Vernon.
The B.C. Care Provider Association said Parks Place Seniors Living had cancelled a 250-bed facility project in Vernon due to uncertainty around future operating costs and funding.
The BCCPA said this project was expected to deliver 150 long-term care beds, 100 assisted living units and additional seniors housing, and had been in development since 2007.
The association claimed this cancellation raised concerns about the sustainability of seniors’ care in B.C., despite the B.C. NDP announcing plans to move forward with previously cancelled long-term care provinces if re-elected to government.
