A New Home for Nigel House

A New Home for Nigel House The Nigel House Replacement Project

Who calls Nigel House home?

The people living at Nigel House are just regular, ordinary people that had something happen outside their control and they’re trying to make the best of it. The better the place that they’re living, the better the chance of living a better life.

Avril

Mother of Nigel House Resident, Ava

Ava

In her teens, Ava’s legs would give out while running in gym class.

One day, her mother heard her collapse in the next room, and doctors eventually diagnosed her with Multiple Sclerosis. She was 21.

Imagine having a young family and then a rare genetic disorder begins to erode your health so that you lose your ability to walk or talk in your 20s. Or you experience vision and balance loss that dramatically affects your day-to-day life as a teenager, only to learn in your early 20s that you have multiple sclerosis. Imagine driving to work, getting into a car accident, and being left blind and unable to use your legs.

The people that live at Nigel House are too old for the services offered to children with disabilities, and they are too young for a typical residential care facility where the average age is 84. That’s why Nigel House is so important. It’s a home for adults that can give them the care and support they need, along with programs and activities that are fun, engaging and relevant to people from their 20s through 50s – not programs designed for seniors near the end of life. Nigel House supports people’s independence and helps each person make each moment matter. The staff help the people who live at Nigel House be part of the community – not part of a facility.

These are just some of the realities affecting people who live at Nigel House. They have a range of disabilities that are the result of trauma, birth anomalies, or neurological degenerative diseases. This can affect their physical, developmental and mental health: each resident has a unique combination of complex health conditions. They face enormous challenges when it comes to living a life of dignity and independence, and there are very few places where they can receive the support they need as a younger adult requiring long term care. As a result, some are placed in homes where they coexist with a frail, elderly population, and others may live a good portion of their life in a hospital. Imagine if someone you loved dearly was in this situation. You’d want them to be able to live their life as well as possible – in an environment that helps to minimize day-to-day obstacles and limitations and provides a safe, welcoming space to share time with people close in age and with similar interests.

You would want them to live in a place where they could live to their full potential.

There are a lot of supports funded through our public social service and health care system for young people with disabilities up to the age of nineteen. Once they become adults, many of those supports disappear.

Why Does Nigel House Need A New Home?

Sharing a room was the toughest thing I’ve pretty much had to do. I’ve never done anything like that before ­— sharing a room and a bathroom. It was tough.

My roommate was a good guy and we had some fun. But, you know, we’re adults.

That’s something you do in college.

Rick

Nigel House Resident

At 28, Rick had a wife and two kids and a job he loved as a heavy equipment operator.

While driving, he suffered a diabetic coma, and drove into a power pole. The accident left him blind, and caused him to lose a leg so that he must use a wheelchair.

The people living at Nigel House are happy.

They feel appreciative to have the support they need to live their lives to the fullest and rarely complain. The staff is incredible and become like family.

However, there are challenges. Nigel House was built decades ago and doesn’t work well for those with physical, developmental and behavioural challenges.

14

15

The challenges for people living at Nigel House are very real and include: • Hallways, doorways, elevators and common areas are too narrow for power wheelchairs • Shared accommodation for some residents means a lack of privacy, dignity, and comfort • People don’t have closets for storing clothing and personal items • Space for social gatherings is limited • There’s a lack of common areas for programs and services for people • Some outdoor amenity areas are in poor condition and are inaccessible to residents • There is poor access to and from crosswalks and sidewalks, making it even more difficult to enjoy getting out and about

Simply put, Nigel House is beyond its useful life.

It was built in the 1970’s for a different purpose – it is not designed for the service it now provides. The updates made in the 1990s are now out-of-date, and further costly repairs are urgently needed: for example, the roof will need replacing in just 3 years.

A thorough review has confirmed that spending millions of dollars renovating the current building is no longer viable.

Nigel House residents deserve a proper home that helps them to live their lives in a safe, high quality and supportive living environment.

If you or a loved one found yourself living at Nigel House, how would you want to live your life?

Who calls Nigel House home?

For Lynton, mental stimulus was important, being able to go out and do things, see things, being a part of this world. Nigel House gave him those opportunities.

When he was in the hospital he was just in a hospital room ­— watching a video he had seen a dozen times.

David

Uncle of Nigel House Resident, Lynton

Lynton In his early twenties, Lynton moved from Alberta to take a job with his Uncle’s painting company. He and his girlfriend had just started a family, but a rare genetic disorder – a reaction to copper in his diet – suddenly and seriously affected his speech and his ability to walk.

The Vision: A New Nigel House What will a new home for Nigel House look like? Everyone who lives there will have the privacy and dignity of their own room and washroom.

Every space will be designed to make sure that those in wheelchairs will be able to move safely and easily throughout the building.

Beautiful and comfortable common areas on every level will give people places to

Existing Nigel House location

meet, chat and socialize. An excellent on-site kitchen will meet the individual dietary needs of everyone at Nigel House, and be able to provide meals in easily accessible dining areas.

The design of the new building will provide ample space to accommodate a wide range of programs and activities. There will be open and covered exterior patios to make it easy for people to get fresh air and sunshine. Access to the nearby Lochside Regional Trail, Saanich Municipal Hall, Saanich Plaza and Uptown Centre will be improved with at-grade paths, walkways and crossings, making it easier for people with challenges to live a fuller life in their surrounding neighbourhood.

It will also include secure rooms for 15 people that struggle with more challenging for this population of Island Health clients.

Affordable Housing - There will also be 10 Affordable Housing units included in Nigel House that BC Housing is contributing significantly toward. With a 0.7% vacancy rate reported in the 2017 CMHC Rental Report, there is a tremendous need for affordable housing.

Assisted Living - Our aging population means there is an increasing need for assisted living for seniors, according to the Senior’s Housing Report in 2017. Nigel House

David Cheperdak CEO of Broadmead Care

includes 37 Assisted Living homes including an area for dining, patio gardens on most floors pus a large roof top garden and recreation room.

As part of the overall Nigel Valley Project, Nigel House will be one of the first parts of the Nigel Valley Project to be developed. The total cost to build the new Nigel House is $37 million. Broadmead Care Society will provide $6 million (of which $3 million needs to be fundraised); the CHRD has provided $1 million; and Island Health will provide the remainder of the funding through a capital per diem which will support the mortgage.
