Living Options & Care Levels

AgeCare Malaspina is built to support seniors through different stages of aging, offering care that can grow alongside a resident’s needs over time. For those living with complex or unpredictable medical conditions who require consistent, skilled support, the long-term care program provides a safe and nurturing environment where a dedicated team is always present. A Registered Nurse Care Leader guides each resident’s care plan and works alongside a full interdisciplinary team that includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, health care aides, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, recreational therapists, and social workers.
