Supporting Quality Of Life For All Walks Of Life
Over one in four Vancouver Islanders are over 65. With a rapidly aging population, Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals have put an increasing emphasis on seniors’ needs. From accessibility upgrades, to important equipment, to specialty programs, our local care teams strive for compassionate and respectful elder care. Your donation helps fund needs for this fast-growing group.
“Your generosity supports people, like Tom, who are the most vulnerable in our society. People who otherwise could fall through the cracks. Thank you so much.”
—Lucy, Sister To Senior’s Outpatient Clinic Patient Thomas
Focusing On Dignified, Individualized Care
Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals serve over 18,000 senior patients annually, through specialized inpatient units, a walk-in outpatient clinic, and home visits. Our hospitals treat acute conditions while supporting senior’s independence and empowering them to thrive.
Our caregivers focus on the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of complex, multi-system conditions, and unique degenerative conditions common to seniors. An interdisciplinary team of specialists—from geriatric physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, and pharmacists to physical therapists, social workers, and more—work in unison to treat and care for elderly patients in our community.
With a growing senior population here on Vancouver Island, the need for these supports continues to grow as well.

Providing The Best For Our Elders
World-leading facilities designed with seniors’ needs in mind
Royal Jubilee welcomed the new Patient Care Centre in 2011, the world’s first hospital designed specifically for the needs of the elderly. It includes features like natural lighting and contrast colouring to prevent confusion and aid wayfinding, numerous handrails and rest areas to support mobility, and state-of-the-art monitoring equipment to balance safety and freedom of movement.
The Patient Care Centre includes a dedicated Senior’s Mental Health Unit to care for those with mental health issues, dementia, and Alzheimer’s.
Help us deliver on our elderly care mission
Aging can come with increased challenges. We have a responsibility to care for our elderly to the best of our ability. With your donation to seniors health, we can invest in equipment that supports our teams as they continue to deliver the highest possible care for seniors right here in our community.
