The Florentine Seniors Residence has announced that they will be giving up their Complex Care License.
In March of this year, Interior Health appointed an administrator to oversee operations on the second floor of the facility, which contained 20 independently funded long-term care beds. This followed a series of infractions Interior Health claimed had arisen following visits to the senior’s residence.
“After spending two years in planning and two years of construction to build the best possible age in place seniors’ home, I had to make the agonizing decision to give up our Complex Care Licence,” reads a post on The Florentine’s Facebook page.
