A Loving & Homelike Environment

We are a non-profit society offering long-term care services and dementia care for 76 residents. We also provide 23 one bedroom apartments for independently living tenants.

We are located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

At Columbus Residence we are committed to providing the highest standard of care in a warm, loving and homelike environment. We support and encourage each resident’s unique personhood and our care services are holistic and wellness oriented as we address the physical, spiritual, emotional, social and educational needs of our residents.

We strive to create a sense of community and our dedicated team of staff are here to ensure our residents are kept safe and comfortable.

Columbus Residence is a non-profit organization founded by the Knights of Columbus, Vancouver Council 1081. Our faith based residence is shaped by our beliefs and values, by the residents and tenants living here, and by our committed staff, board of directors and volunteers.

Visiting Columbus Residence

Updated – April 10,2024

Visitors will not be required to wear masks while visiting Columbus Residence, unless specifically required based on a Point of Care Risk Assessment (assessment by a health care worker that masking is required based on the risks of infection, including a resident’s symptoms, the type of interaction with residents, and the environment).
Active screening of visitors is no longer required. Visitors are reminded to self-screen and not to visit when having any signs of illness.
Screeners are on-site 8:30am until 6:00pm and will be here to greet visitors and open the doors to visitors. After 6:00pm, visitors will need to be in contact with the nurse on the care floor of your loved,one, so that they can assist with entry.
There will be no restrictions on gatherings, events or activities including visitors, indoor or outdoors, regardless of visitor vaccination status.

No Parking in Front Courtyard

A reminder to all visitors that the driveway and ramp area at the entrance to Columbus Residence is a NO PARKING ZONE. This area must be kept clear for access by emergency vehicles (Fire/Ambulance) at all times.

Please ensure that your loved one is at the entrance before driving in to pick them up and ensure you are always in sight of your vehicle when escorting your loved one to and from the building. We thank you for your consideration.

Circle of Care Gala

We want to extend a very heartfelt Thank You to all our supporters of Columbus Residence!

Last year, we suddenly had to replace one of our bathtubs, so our amended goal for the gala was raised to $50,000 to purchase a second tub. Thanks to your generosity, you helped us raise $29,495.52 – over half-way to our goal! Your support has directly contributed to the continued enrichment, well-being and quality of life for each of our residents – you have made a difference!

We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
