Residential Care
Haro Park Centre is a Campus of Elderly Health Care, the first of its kind in Vancouver.
The Campus of Care provides independent housing, assisted living and residential care, allowing elders the opportunity to age in place. As their needs change we are able to provide elders with the necessary care without moving them away from the home the have come to know and the relationships they have developed.
