Established in 1983, Westbank First Nation opened its first intermediate care facility that provides quality care for community elders, both native and non-native. There are currently 63 beds for intermediate care including 20 beds in a secure unit and one bed as a respite room designated for short term stay (one month maximum).
The facility employs 24 hour professional nursing care consisting of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Health Care Workers, and an Activity Department supported by a number of volunteers. Residents are offered access to the following professional services: Dietician, Podiatrist, Occupational/Physio Therapist, Dental Hygienist, and a Social Worker. In addition, a hairdresser is on site on a regular basis at a reasonable cost for the convenience of those in our care.
We welcome families to visit their loved ones. Our activity room in the Quail Unit or the family room in the Juniper Unit are suitable for family functions and can be reserved through our Activity Department. We also offer families the opportunity to purchase meal tickets so they can stay and enjoy a meal during their visit.
Pine Acres Home has implemented a Resident Council with bi-monthly meetings where family members are encouraged to attend. Our facility is distinguished for its approach and commitment to First Nation's cultural and spiritual beliefs. We promise excellence in care in a positive, nurturing environment.
