Older adults live life fully in a community of health, housing and wellness programs at KinVillage in Tsawwassen. Now KinVillage is beginning a new phase of development, to not only expand and improve housing and care options for seniors living onsite, but expand the Day Program for Older Adults from 11 to 35 older adults a day and, in turn, provide respite for caregivers of those seniors.
Phase One of the KinVillage development project includes 103,000 sq ft for 152 independent living suites, funded by BC Housing at $56.6 million. It also includes the new, expanded 5,000 sq ft Day Program for Older Adults. The $5 million in funding for that day program will come come from the community through a capital campaign.
