About The Harrison at Elim Village – Full Care
Days here have a steady, comfortable rhythm. Mornings might begin with a visit to the café, afternoons with time in the garden courtyard, and evenings surrounded by people who genuinely care. The Harrison at Elim Village, located at 9067 160 Street in Surrey, BC, is a full-care long-term care community offering round-the-clock professional support within a setting that feels far more like home than a facility.
Living Options & Care Levels
The Harrison at Elim Village offers three levels of care to support residents at different stages of their journey. Independent Living is available for older adults who are largely self-sufficient but value the security and social benefits of a senior community. Assisted Living provides additional day-to-day support for those who need help with personal care and other tasks while still maintaining a meaningful degree of independence. Full Long-Term Care, the defining offering of The Harrison and Harrison West buildings, is designed for those who require continuous, hands-on support. With staff available 24 hours a day and a professional wellness team on site, residents receive attentive, dignified care in 193 large, private rooms, each with its own private bathroom. This level of care is appropriate for individuals whose health needs require consistent monitoring and assistance throughout every part of the day and night.
What You’ll Love About Living Here
Life at The Harrison is shaped by thoughtful amenities that make each day feel full and meaningful. The on-site café provides a welcoming place to gather over a coffee or a quiet meal, and residents benefit from regular housekeeping so their living space is always comfortable and clean. Fitness classes offer a way to stay active and connected with others, while the spa and hair salon give residents the opportunity to feel their best without ever leaving the building. The hair salon is staffed by professionals who understand the specific needs of older adults, making those appointments something residents genuinely look forward to. Worship services and volunteer opportunities round out the spiritual and social side of life here, giving residents a sense of purpose and community belonging. The secure garden courtyard, accessible exclusively to Harrison and Harrison West residents, is a peaceful retreat where fresh air and seasonal beauty can be enjoyed safely at any time. Throughout the day, residents are supported not just by Elim’s core care team but also by allied health professionals including physiotherapists, foot care specialists, dental hygiene providers, and massage therapists, ensuring that wellness extends well beyond basic medical needs.
Why Residents Choose The Harrison at Elim Village – Full Care
Families and residents choose The Harrison because of the trust it has earned over time. The community holds CARF Canada accreditation, receiving the maximum three-year term in 2025, which is a meaningful external validation of the quality and consistency of care provided here. This accreditation is recognized by government bodies and health authorities, including Fraser Health, and it reflects rigorous evaluation of every aspect of care and operations. For families navigating the difficult transition of placing a loved one in full-time care, that kind of independent confirmation provides genuine peace of mind. The neighbourhood-style design of the buildings, with warm finishes and thoughtful layouts, creates an environment where residents feel settled rather than institutionalized. Staff treat residents with respect and kindness, and the sense of community that develops among residents themselves adds another layer of comfort and belonging. Both Fraser Health-funded and private pay units are available, making the community accessible to a range of families. For those pursuing subsidized placement, eligibility is determined through Fraser Health directly, while a private pay waitlist is also available for those who prefer that route.
