Nestled in a quiet residential neighbourhood in East Richmond, British Columbia, Pinegrove Place sits beside Albert Airey Park, where paved walking trails, park benches, and picnic areas offer a peaceful natural backdrop just steps from the front door. Since opening in June 1983, this 76-bed care home has built a reputation for treating each resident with dignity, compassion, and respect, guided by Christian values and a genuine commitment to holistic well-being. Funded by Vancouver Coastal Health Authority and a proud member of the Denominational Health Association, Pinegrove Place earned Exemplary Standing from Accreditation Canada in 2022, recognizing its dedication to quality care that goes above and beyond standard requirements.
Pinegrove Place is designed to provide consistent, attentive care for residents who need a higher level of daily support. The home offers 76 complex care beds spread across two floors, with each room being single occupancy and fully furnished. Every room includes a private two-piece bathroom and a call bell system, so residents can feel comfortable and secure at any hour. The second floor is home to 18 beds within a dedicated Special Care Unit, providing an environment specifically tailored for residents with more advanced needs. Whether a resident is moving in requiring moderate support or needs more intensive care over time, Pinegrove Place is structured to provide the right level of attention at every stage, with a full interdisciplinary team that works together to meet each person’s evolving needs.
Life at Pinegrove Place is shaped by the people who live there and the community they build together. Residents have access to arts and crafts programming supported by dedicated therapists, giving everyone an opportunity to express themselves creatively and connect with others who share similar interests. Shared dining rooms bring residents together for nutritious meals, where conversation flows naturally and friendships grow over time. The beautiful gardens and outdoor terrace and patio areas invite residents to step outside, enjoy fresh air, and take in the surrounding greenery at their own pace. For those who value their faith, worship services are held on a regular basis and a chaplain is available for personal visits and spiritual support. The on-site spa and hair salon offers residents a chance to feel their best, adding a sense of normalcy and comfort to everyday life. With staff available at all times and a 24/7 emergency response system in place, residents can move through their days with a sense of ease, knowing that support is always close by. A monthly calendar of activities ensures there is always something meaningful happening, from music and recreation programs to gatherings that keep the community lively and engaged.
Families who choose Pinegrove Place often speak to a feeling of trust that is difficult to put into words but easy to feel when you walk through the doors. There is a warmth here that comes from a team that genuinely cares, a mission rooted in compassion, and a community that looks out for one another.

Residents often find that Pinegrove Place does not feel like an institution. It feels like home, a place where their individuality is respected and their well-being is treated as a whole rather than a checklist.
