The Paul Myers and Shore Family Respite Centre
Care BC is delighted to announce the completion of The Paul Myers and Shore Family Respite Centre — a warm, welcoming resource in Lower Lonsdale developed in partnership with the City of North Vancouver and the Catalyst Community Developments Society. We are working hard to open our doors in Summer 2026 and start providing compassionate, reliable respite care to families in the community.
How the centre helps
The Paul Myers and Shore Family Respite Centre will provide short-term overnight care for seniors with complex needs, and who live at home. By giving their caregivers reliable time to rest and recharge, the centre will help families sustain compassionate care at home, thereby reducing avoidable emergency visits, hospital stays, and premature long‑term care placements. Quality respite care preserves independence, and well-being for both seniors and their caregivers.
