To ensure residential care services continue to meet community needs, Interior Health (IH) has issued a
request for proposal (RFP) to create 185 new residential care beds in the Okanagan.
The RFP was issued today and calls for the creation of 100 beds in Kelowna and 85 beds in Vernon.
These additional beds represent a significant investment in seniors’ care by IH. Residential beds provide
24/7 care and support for individuals with complex care needs who are no longer able to live at home
independently or with supports. This includes the frail and elderly, and those with dementia, whose needs
may change over time.
