Each resident suite is approximately 245-270 sq. ft.
Unless specially arranged, all resident suites in the East Tower are single rooms to promote privacy and to create a sense of home. Each room includes:
All rooms are equipped with emergency power outlets so that care needs will not be compromised in the rare scenario of a power outage.
Located within each house, the resident lounge and dining room is an open space for residents to dine, socialize, and participate in group or individual leisure activities. Three times a day, we prepare freshly cooked meals at our central kitchen onsite, deliver to each floor, and serve the food from the house servery based on each resident’s preferences and needs.
A therapeutic bathtub is available for residents’ use in the SPA room. The room is equipped with a ceiling lift to ensure all residents have access to a bath should they desire one.
An outdoor space from the 5th to 10th floor is available and equipped with a clear safety guard rail that is seven feet high. Residents enjoy fresh air in their own house.
Residents participate in one-to-one and group exercise programs using specialized equipment in this room, like the physical therapy parallel bars or ATP. Specialty flooring is used in this room to enhance residents’ safety during their exercises.
The Dental Clinic is a collaboration with UBC Geriatric Dentistry. The room is equipped with a modern dental chair and X-Ray machine, and residents at Villa Cathay can receive dental services in house without the hassle of travelling to an off-site location.
This meeting room is where the resident, family, and the interdisciplinary care team meet to discuss the resident’s care plan.
A team of volunteer professional hairdressers come to provide haircuts at no cost for the Villa Cathay residents.

Auditorium
The Auditorium will be located right by the lobby, across from the reception desk. Entertainment programs of larger scale, such as singing and dancing performance groups, bingo, and other various special programs will take place in the Auditorium. Residents can come to the Auditorium to enjoy the programs and mingle with residents from other floors. The Auditorium is also equipped with a wheelchair accessible oven and stove to enhance the variety of recreation activities for our residents.
Garden
Connected to the lobby through the cultural corridor on the first floor, the garden will offer a landscaped outdoor area where residents can take a walk and enjoy the breeze on a sunny day. The paved walkways and benches will support residents with adjusting their pace and rest as they stroll through the garden. There are raised, wheelchair accessible planting beds to provide access to horticultural activities.
