CARRINGTON PLACE - Vernon, BC

Vision and Mission
Carrington Place Rehabilitation & Living Center's mission is to be the community facility of choice; A MATTHEWS NURSING HOME, providing resident-centered and family services with genuine compassion and highest quality.

Our primary mission is to provide the highest level of resident care possible with regard for individual resident's specific medical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs. This mission can only be accomplished through personal dedication of each staff member combined with a sympathetic understanding of the resident's needs, choices, and desires.
The facility by design enhances the quality of life for each person residing at Carrington Place. For the family, a quiet satisfaction and an inner feeling of peace that comes from knowing that your loved one is receiving the very best care possible by a kind and caring staff.

Home-Like Environment
Carrington Place is a 176 certified bed long term care nursing facility. It sits on 6 acres of naturally wooded land and is only 2 miles away from the nearest hospital. With 59,000 square feet under its roof, it houses four (4) dining rooms, interior courtyards, exterior gardens, therapy rooms, beauty shop, ice cream parlor, gift shop, library, a living room with a fireplace, private setting and dining rooms, and even a guest bedroom.

It is designed around the resident's needs and with those needs as the focal point of all interior and exterior design. The goal is to provide healthcare in a home-like environment with all rooms having a picture book landscape view from the window. Gardens in both interior courtyards and around the facility provide natural beauty for the residents to enjoy. Patios, porches, and loggias entice the resident to enjoy the fresh air and the country-like setting.
