Health Care Assistants (HCAs) are at the heart of our care. Their work goes beyond skill, bringing patience, kindness, and empathy to every shift. By handling daily routines with dignity and respect, and offering a comforting smile in challenging moments, our HCAs enrich the lives of every resident. Their dedication is what makes the care at Villa Cathay truly exceptional.

Last week, we celebrated Health Care Assistant Day, a special opportunity to honor the compassion and tireless work of our HCAs. To show our gratitude, Villa Cathay presented each HCA with a small token of appreciation for their unwavering commitment and care.

Thank you to all our HCAs for the difference you make in the lives of our residents—every single day!

Being prepared makes all the difference.

This week, Villa Cathay residents and staff joined millions across the province in the ShakeOut BC Earthquake Drill to strengthen our readiness for emergencies.

The drill offered a valuable opportunity to review response procedures, practice coordination, and build confidence in working together during an emergency.

Regular participation in drills like this keeps our community ready and confident, as we continue learning and working together to stay prepared.

Villa Cathay recently welcomed Henry Schein, the dental supplier supporting the UBC Geriatric Dentistry Program, for a tour of our care home.

Through our ongoing collaboration with UBC, residents at Villa Cathay receive dental care within our home, ensuring comfort and timely treatment. The visit offered an opportunity for them to meet UBC Dentistry students and see how this partnership strengthens both geriatric dental education and care for our aging population.

We are grateful to UBC Dentistry and Henry Schein for working together to enhance the oral health and well-being of our residents.
