We have identified Mount St. Mary Hospital in our top 3, how long is the waitlist?
Thank you for considering Mount St. Mary for your loved one. We understand that this process can be overwhelming, confusing and slow. There is a huge demand for Long Term Care in British Columbia. Although we can’t make things go faster, we can provide compassion and care on your journey. When Island Health matches your loved one to Mount St. Mary we can offer a tour, and if accepted, the move in will happen shortly thereafter. Our Social Workers will contact you when your loved one has been matched to Mount St. Mary, but they don’t have access to waitlist information.
