Sharing Rooms
Roommates can help you get to know your community and help you feel less lonely.
Some of our care homes are built so that residents share rooms. Depending on the room size, you could have one to three roommates. Your roommates can help you get to know our community and help you feel less lonely. We use privacy curtains to help create a distinct space for each person. We ask that you use headphones when watching television or listening to the radio so you don’t disturb your roommate, and ask that your visitors socialize in public areas when your roommate is trying to sleep or when we are helping your roommate with his or her personal care.

“
If you think about the founding Sisters, they arrived in Vancouver friendless and penniless. They showed a lot of courage and perseverance to finance and build the original hospitals and sites. Because of that early spirit, Providence tends to recruit people who care about looking after the poor and disenfranchised, and who are committed to providing a high quality of care. The approach to patients and residents is different than I have seen elsewhere.”
