Just Like Home Lodge

ABOUT THE LODGE

Just steps away from the Campbell River Hospital, the Just Like Home Lodge is a safe haven for patients and loved ones who find themselves traveling to Campbell River for specialized care or procedures that they cannot receive in their communities.

Currently, the Campbell River Hospital serves 32 communities on North Vancouver Island and the Central Coast, with approximately 57,000 patients. With a growing and aging population, the hospital is the first referral point for specialized care.

During moments of crisis, substantial travel time daily combined with finding appropriate accommodation near the hospital, can contribute to increased emotional and economic stress.  Just Like Home will be a home-away-from-home, where loved ones can support each other and bond with others through shared experiences together in their times of need.

This beautiful lodge with all the comforts of home will feature:

  • Ten separate sleeping rooms with private washrooms
  • A comfortable communal living space
  • A large modern shared kitchen
  • Day use common and shower facililities
  • Guest laundry facilities
  • RV parking
  • & more

THE COST

Capital costs estimated at $2 million will be fundraised through the Campbell River Hospital Foundation.  This includes the cost for the building, parking, furnishings, laundry/storage, internet technology, security cameras and other contingency costs.

All ongoing operating costs will be provided through the Strathcona Regional District.

With your support, loved ones can spend more time together when they need each other the most. All donations and support for this project is appreciated.
