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.

Flu Season: Visiting Columbus Residence

A reminder to all visitors that Flu Season is now upon us and we need to take extra precautions to protect our residents.

Family & friends who have NOT received their flu vaccination are asked to wear a mask while they are in the building (masks are available at the Front Screening desk).
Please be sure and use hand sanitizers and/or wash your hands before and after each visit
Most importantly, please postpone any visits to Columbus Residence if you are experiencing any flu/cold symptoms

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.

A Generous Donation

A very big thank you to IODE (Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire) BC Mary Emerson Trust Fund for the generous donation that allowed us to purchase 15 new, much needed mattresses.

IODE members Elizabeth Wosely and Nancy Hundal

It is heartwarming having a resident family member, Nancy Hundal approach us, on behalf of IODE Jessie F. Gordon Chapter, about this fundraising opportunity and wonderful to have Elizabeth and Nancy visit us the day the mattresses were distributed to the resident rooms.

Seeking Donations

In an effort to serve our residents, we are looking for donations for our library.

We would appreciate any Chinese books for our residents to read, preferably with large print. Donations can be made directly to our Screening and Reception team at the entrance to our building. Additionally, you can reach out to our Recreation Department at 604.321.4405 ext: 124
