About Pine Acres Home
Established in 1983, Westbank First Nation opened an intermediate care facility that provided quality care for community elders, both indigenous and non-indigenous. While originally designed to provide residence to aging residents, we have since changed our operating model to provide services to residents requiring complex care, including dementia care.
Pine Acres has grown and evolved since opening in 1983. Additions to the building and services provided occurred in 1988 and 1994. There are currently 63 beds for residential care.
Pine Acres Home has implemented a Resident Council with bi-monthly meetings, and family members are encouraged to attend. Our facility is distinguished for its approach and commitment to First Nations cultural and spiritual beliefs.
Mission: Pine Acre Home promises excellence in care in a safe, nurturing environment.
Vision: Pine Acres Home will be a national leader in providing excellence in care to all cultures in a First Nations environment.
Services and Amenities
Pine Acres provides excellence in care in an Indigenous environment. We work closely with the Interior Health Authority ("IHA") and Indigenous Services Canada. Forty beds are funded through IHA. Priority for placement is given to First Nations residents for the remaining twenty beds.
We believe that by attempting to meet your needs and interests, we have the potential to promote an active and meaningful life for residents, and, in doing so, provide residents with satisfaction, self-worth, and assistance in maintaining their independence.
The facility employs 24-hour professional nursing care consisting of Licensed Practical Nurses, Health Care Workers, and an Activity Department supported by volunteers. Registered Nurses in Administration provide clinical leadership and education.
