The existing two-storey Nigel House building will give way to a six-storey complex.
After close to five years at Nigel House, a Saanich facility for people needing complex care, Wendy Hamer can’t imagine living anywhere else.
She has her own ideas about where she’d like to be in the new building. “I asked for a penthouse,” she said with a laugh. Nigel House residents, who range in age from 23 to 74, have a wide range of health situations and physical and mental challenges that make specialized care a necessity. All told, there will be room for 41 people needing complex care, 37 assisted-living units and 10 units of affordable housing in what Broadmead Care Society chief executive Derrick Bernardo calls a “beautiful, sustainable, integrated community.”
