Life at Noric House is shaped by genuine support, familiar routines, and a warm community where residents are known by name and cared for with intention. Noric House is a publicly funded long-term care home located at 1400 Mission Rd in Vernon, British Columbia, operated by Interior Health on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Okanagan Nation. With 85 beds and a full range of on-site health and wellness services, Noric House offers a stable, nurturing environment for seniors who need consistent daily support and compassionate care.
Noric House offers three distinct care pathways to meet residents at different stages of their journey. Assisted living at Noric House provides hands-on daily support for seniors who need help with personal care, medication management, and the activities of daily life, while still living in a residential setting with their own space to personalize. For families navigating a short-term need, respite care is available to give primary caregivers a temporary break while ensuring their loved one receives attentive, professional support in a safe environment. Noric House also provides palliative care for residents approaching the end of life, with a focus on comfort, dignity, and meaningful time with family. Each of these care levels is delivered by an experienced team committed to treating every resident as an individual.
Daily life at Noric House is designed to feel like home, not a hospital. Residents can spend a quiet afternoon in the library, browse with on-site vendors without having to leave the building, or enjoy the fresh air and relaxed atmosphere of the outdoor terrace or patio. For those who want to feel their best, the spa and hair salon offers a familiar comfort that many residents genuinely look forward to. Parking is available on site, making it easy for family members and friends to visit regularly, which plays a meaningful role in residents’ overall sense of connection. Resident Council Meetings give community members a voice in how the home is run, fostering a sense of ownership and belonging that makes Noric House feel like more than just a place to live. Food is prepared on site, and the care team includes professionals such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dieticians, social workers, and recreation staff, all working together to support physical, emotional, and social well-being every day.
Families choose Noric House because it offers something that is genuinely hard to find: the peace of mind that comes from knowing a loved one is in capable, consistent hands within a publicly accountable system. As an Interior Health owned and operated facility, Noric House adheres to provincial standards and is guided by a clear organizational mission and set of values that shape how care is delivered at every level. Tours are available before residency begins, which allows prospective residents and their families to ask questions, see the space, and feel confident in their decision before making a commitment. The availability of specialist support, including a geriatrician, physician support, and access to traditional medicine, means that residents with complex or evolving needs are not left without answers. Volunteer services and visiting pets add warmth to daily life, while services like dental, vision, and foot care are available on site for added convenience. This combination of professional depth and personal touch is what keeps families feeling confident long after move-in day.
Vernon is a welcoming mid-sized city in the heart of the Okanagan, surrounded by lakes, orchards, and the kind of natural beauty that makes British Columbia’s interior so distinctive. Mission Road sits within a well-established part of Vernon where the pace of life feels grounded and unhurried. The area offers easy access to local services and community resources, and the broader Vernon community has a strong sense of identity and civic pride. For families visiting from within the city or traveling from farther afield, Vernon’s accessibility by road and its central location within the Okanagan region make regular visits practical and straightforward. Being situated on the traditional territory of the Okanagan Nation also reflects Interior Health’s broader commitment to Indigenous partnerships and culturally informed care, which is woven into the fabric of how Noric House operates within its community.
