Vancouver Coastal Health announced a 10-year plan to add more nursing home beds and upgrade older facilities, according to an article on the Vancouver Sun website.

The British Columbia health authority announced it will spend $40 million on the project and has signed agreements for six new and expanded residential care facilities. 

The plan is the first stage in a longer-term plan that will see a significant number of the region’s residential care facilities rebuilt to today’s modern standard.
