4-rooms (one on each floor) within this 199-bed long-term-care facility have been fully renovated to create a warm, welcoming, and non-institutional feel for those nearing end-of-life and their loved-ones. Renovations have converted these rooms to a home-like environment. Each room has signage indicating SOSJ sponsorship. A formal dedication ceremony is scheduled for early in 2018.

The Bloom Group Cottage is a long-term-care facility, including a 10-bed hospice, located in East Vancouver. The goal of the project is to paint and refresh 10 hospice rooms and en suite bathrooms.

SOSJ partnered with government agencies in the development of a 14-bed stand-alone facility on the UBC Campus. The facility is currently being operated by Providence Health Care of Vancouver Coastal Health Authority.

SOSJ provided advocacy in the development of Abbotsford Hospice Society’s Holmberg House, a 10-bed facility, co-located within the innovative Abbotsford Campus of Palliative Care including Canuck Place, Matthew’s Place, and Abbotsford Regional Hospital.
