The Residence in Mission is a three-storey long term care home operated by Fraser Health. It is organized into eight neighbourhoods. Each neighbourhood has their own dining and lounge areas and access to a shared country kitchen.
The Residence in Mission was built in 2014. We believe in a person centered approach, and involve resident families and loved ones in that process.
The residence offers care with specialized services for bariatric, peritoneal dialysis, dementia, complex care, respite care and behaviour transitional support.
There are 200 publicly subsidized long term care beds; 190 are single occupancy rooms and five are double occupancy rooms.
