Many thanks to all the players, sponsors, community supporters, and volunteers, and the North Shore Community Foundation, for their generous support in helping us raise $50,000 toward the development of Care BC’s North Shore Family Respite Centre!
These funds will be used to assist with construction costs of a much needed, state-of-the-art 18 bed adult day care and overnight respite centre for North Shore seniors diagnosed with dementia, who are living at home, thereby enabling their caregivers to get the periods of “respite” or the rest they need to continue caring for their loved ones at home. Construction is well underway with a projected completion by the late Fall of 2025.
Care BC has raised $8.5 million of the $12 million project costs but we have a way to go yet to fully fund the new Centre. For more information about the centre, donation options and to donate, please visit: www.becauseyoucarebc.ca.
We hope you’ll join us for this scenic Japan Coastal Cruise aboard the beautiful Diamond Princess.

North Shore Family Respite Centre
The Health and Home Care Society of BC (Care BC) is a not-for-profit organization working in partnership with the City of North Vancouver (City) and the Catalyst Community Developments Society (Catalyst), to build a Family Respite Centre (FRC) on East 2nd and St. Georges Ave in Lower Lonsdale. The FRC will provide temporary Adult Day Care and Overnight Respite Care for seniors diagnosed with dementia, who are living at home, thereby enabling their caregivers to get the periods of “respite” or the rest they require to continue to care for their loved ones at home. Too frequently, the alternative is a visit to the emergency, followed by admission into an acute care hospital bed, and placement in a long term care bed. Vancouver Coastal Health has agreed to fund the annual operating costs of the FRC.
The FRC will be owned and operated for 60 years by Care BC and located on the ground level of a 6-storey tower in a custom-designed, homelike setting which will include 18 private bedrooms with ensuite, and 25 Adult Day Care Program spaces. Eighty-nine affordable housing units, which will be owned and operated by Catalyst, will be constructed above the FRC. Completion of the site is anticipated in the fall of 2025. Care BC has fundraised approximately $8.5 million of the estimated $12 million total project costs. For more information, visit our fundraising campaign website:
