Imagine waking up each morning to sweeping views of the mountains and ocean, with the comforting rhythm of a warm, well-run home surrounding you. Braddan Private Hospital, located in Vancouver’s beloved Kitsilano neighbourhood, is a recently renovated residence that brings together attentive care, a welcoming atmosphere, and a strong sense of community for the people who call it home.

Living Options & Care Levels

Braddan Private Hospital operates in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, offering subsidized care beds for eligible residents. The facility has 60 Vancouver Coastal Health funded beds alongside 2 private pay rooms, giving families both publicly supported and private options depending on their circumstances. Rooms are available in both private and semi-private configurations, each furnished with a bed, night table, wardrobe, mirror, chair, and window. Residents are also encouraged to personalize their space with their own belongings and decorations, helping each room feel like a true home. The facility is staffed around the clock, with a registered nurse on site 24 hours a day, individualized care planning for every resident, and access to pain and symptom management, dementia therapy, and restorative and rehabilitation programs designed to support independence where possible.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

Daily life at Braddan is shaped by thoughtful details that make a real difference. Mealtimes are something residents genuinely look forward to. The kitchen is led by a professional chef who works closely with a registered dietitian and care staff to create menus that are both nutritious and genuinely enjoyable. Meals rotate with the seasons, and themed menus mark holidays and special occasions throughout the year. Whether a resident has dietary needs related to diabetes, renal health, or texture, the team is experienced in providing customized nutritional care. Tea, coffee, juice, and snacks are available throughout the day, so there is always something on hand between meals. Families are welcome to join their loved ones for dining, and many do. Beyond the table, residents can spend time in the beautifully landscaped gardens and patios, participate in art and creative classes, enjoy music therapy, take part in physical activities, or join cultural celebrations and holiday events. Hairdressing and barber services are available on site, and spiritual and worship services are offered for those who value that connection. Housekeeping and laundry services are handled by the team, so residents can focus on living rather than chores. Staff are present at all hours, offering both practical support and a reassuring sense of security.
