About this location/unit:

Columbia View Lodge (CVL) opened in 1977 and is currently a Long-term Care Site with 76 beds.

There are four units, one is a secure unit for special care residents and the other three have a mixed population.

Six of these beds are short stay beds (community palliative, respite, convalescent).

There is also an Adult Day program 6 days a week (for those clients living in the community), along with a community bathing program (Monday to Friday).

There is a kitchen that prepares meals and housekeepers that clean the building for the residents. Personal laundry is washed in-house while bedding and towels go to a regional location to be cleaned.

Interior Health is an organization where you have room to grow and where life outside of work is just as important to us as it is to you.
