German-Canadian Care Home

The German-Canadian Care Home is a 132-bed complex care home operated by the German-Canadian Benevolent Society of British Columbia. Our services include 24-hour professional nursing care, social work and spiritual care, rehabilitation and recreation services, meals, housekeeping and laundry.

We have single rooms with a private washroom and double rooms with a shared washroom. Rooms are furnished with a bed and a night table, and residents may bring some furniture upon request. New residents are generally admitted to a double room until a single room becomes available.

Room rates are set by Vancouver Coastal Health and are income-based.

We are working towards the development of a new, state-of-the-art care home that will enhance our ability to provide high quality services and innovative care to our residents.

The new building design looks and feels like a residential space while being fully equipped for the delivery of complex care. Individual suites are nested in intimate “home units” consisting of 11 to 13 rooms and are connected to recreational and social areas.

The redevelopment project has continued to slowly but steadily progress. Discussions with main external stakeholders have continued to progress. The redevelopment committee is pleased with the progress that has been made on the project and is hopeful that significant approval milestones will be reached in the coming months.
