strengthen our communities” ~ Jennifer Pahlka

Getting Ready for Move Day

The Move Team leads are working alongside Health Care Relocations to ensure move day goes smoothly. These

teams are creating a transition plan that will help coordinate transportation, registration, staffing and many other

protocols. We are committed to keeping you up to date as more information becomes available as we get closer

to this exciting day!

We are still working on room assignment planning, and residents and families will soon learn more details. Please

continue to attend family Council meetings to hear the most up to date information.

Building Update: Construction continues to progress as the interior of the building gets completed.

Some milestones over the last month:

Two Island Health FMO staff are now certified aselevator operators, a requirement for moving inequipment. Elevators will be fully operational forpassengers and staff on December 20th.

New resident beds are being received, assembledand positioned in the building.
