About this Location
Introducing Nelson Fairview Gardens, a brand-new facility operated by Interior Health as part of the
new Nelson Community Health Campus. This state-of-the-art building will accommodate 75 adults in
need of long-term care. The facility features five distinct neighborhoods across three floors, offering both covered and open outdoor spaces with breathtaking mountain and lake views.
Located in Nelson, a charming city with over 10,000 residents, forming one of the three principal urban centers in the Kootenay Boundary region. Conveniently located midway between Vancouver and Calgary, Nelson is just a 30-minute drive from Castlegar and an hour from Trail, both of which offer commercial airports. Nelson is celebrated for its blend of “storybook charm and cosmopolitan sophistication.” Situated on the shores of Kootenay Lake, it offers a world-class recreational playground in a pristine setting, complemented by all the amenities of modern urban life.
At Interior Health, our approach is rooted in a person- and family-centered model of care, guided by principles of dignity, respect, information sharing, participation, and collaboration. The design of Nelson Fairview Gardens prioritizes resident comfort and staff safety. Each room is a private single occupancy space, with some adaptable for couples through adjoining rooms. Ceiling track lifts ensure ease of mobility from bed to bathroom. The modern, spacious facility is designed to foster a home-like atmosphere, with meals served from neighborhood kitchens and inviting spaces for families and visitors to enjoy meaningful time with their loved ones.
