Team members at Sluggett House
Starting February 1, Island Health will assume operation of Brentwood House and Sluggett House long-term care homes on the Saanich Peninsula.
Island Health’s Long-Term Care Program is collaborating closely with Beacon Community Services to ensure a smooth and seamless transition for residents, families, staff and volunteers. Beacon Community Services informed Island Health in 2024 of their decision to step back from operating these care homes to focus on their many other valued community services.
“These long-term care beds are vital to current residents, their families, and the overall system of care on the South Island,” said Doug Csima, Operations Director, Long-Term Care, South Island. “We’re pleased to continue offering care at Brentwood and Sluggett Houses for these residents.”
Island Health is proud to welcome 37 additional team members from these two care homes, including nurses, care aides, cooks and environmental services staff.
We are committed to ensuring residents and families experience ongoing care and connection as these homes transition to Island Health's operation.
