Life at Veterans Memorial Lodge feels grounded in genuine respect and a deep sense of belonging. Residents share home-cooked meals, tend to gardens, explore creative arts, and build real connections with neighbours and staff. Veterans Memorial Lodge, located at 4579 Chatterton Way in the Broadmead neighbourhood of Victoria, BC, is a warm and thoughtfully designed home serving 225 seniors and veterans on Vancouver Island.
Veterans Memorial Lodge offers a range of care options designed to meet residents at every stage of their journey. Independent living is available for seniors who are largely self-sufficient but benefit from the structure, community, and support of a full-service residence. Memory care is provided for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, with programming and environments tailored to promote comfort, familiarity, and dignity. Long-term care is the heart of what Veterans Memorial Lodge does, offering 24-hour nursing support within a fully staffed, fully equipped residential setting. The facility has 201 publicly subsidized private furnished rooms and 12 double rooms, organized across nine lodges that each have their own dining room and access to a secured garden or patio. Notably, 115 beds are designated as priority access beds for eligible veterans, with eligibility determined by Veterans Affairs Canada. Respite care is also available for those who need short-term support, giving families and caregivers temporary relief while ensuring their loved one receives attentive, professional care. Palliative care is offered as well, providing compassionate end-of-life support focused on comfort and quality of life during a deeply personal time.
Daily life at Veterans Memorial Lodge is shaped by thoughtful programming, good food, and a genuine sense of community. Three full meals are served each day in lodge dining rooms, with snacks available at any time for residents who want something in between. Meals are prepared with care, and the shared dining experience gives residents a natural opportunity to connect with neighbours and enjoy a familiar rhythm throughout the day. For those who love the outdoors, the secured rooftop terraces and courtyard gardens are a highlight, offering a peaceful place to sit, breathe fresh air, or participate in the gardening program. Recreation here goes well beyond passive activities. Residents can explore creative expression through the Artful Enrichment Program, browse titles in the library, attend excursions and outings into the broader Victoria community, or visit the on-site spa and hair salon for a little personal pampering. The on-site vendors and shopping options add everyday convenience without requiring residents to leave the building. Worship services are held regularly, and a Spiritual Care Coordinator is available on site to support residents of all faith backgrounds. Resident Council meetings give people a meaningful voice in their community, reinforcing the sense that this is truly their home.
Families and residents choose Veterans Memorial Lodge because it delivers something that is difficult to find: consistent, person-centred care within a community that genuinely honours its residents. The facility is staffed around the clock, with on-site team members available at all times and 24-hour nursing care ensuring that support is always within reach. Building access is controlled, and safety measures are woven into every part of the physical environment, from handrails throughout the corridors to overhead lift systems in most rooms. For veterans in particular, this facility holds special significance. Veterans Memorial Lodge is one of the few homes in Canada specifically designed to honour and prioritize the care of those who served. That commitment is reflected not just in the priority access beds reserved for eligible veterans, but in the culture of respect that defines daily life here. Families can feel confident knowing their loved one is in a stable, established, and deeply caring environment backed by Broadmead Care, one of Greater Victoria’s most respected care organizations.
