Major Renovations - Haro's Building Fund

Haro Park is over 30 years old and requires  some major renovations to address normal wear and tear as well as add enhancements that will enhance our seniors advanced health care needs.  At present we are seeking $2.5 million to modernize our facilities. Our Building Fund allows us to meet the capital needs and upgrade our facility, funding which is not covered by the government, health authority or BC Housing our major funders.  The following capital and building improvement initiatives are envisioned.

Our Medium Term Capital Improvement Plans are:
  • New emergency generators $500,000 COMPLETED
  • Upgrade our intensive care floors and equipment purchases $120,000 COMPLETED
  • Upgrade emergency generators $365,000 COMPLETED
  • Facility Upgrade $4.0 Million and incudes piping, HVAC replacement, green roof, sprinkler systems and related physical plant improvements
  • Dining Room and Nursing Area Upgrades $600,000
  • Dietary Equipment Upgrade Program $125,000
  • Resident Care Upgrade Program $500,000

Haro Park is in the process of undertaking a longer term needs assessment for its senior and complex care in the West End. Indeed there may be a time where we could explore expansion of our facility or increase and diversify the care given to our residents and community through outreach programs into the West End.
