Overview:

This program is geared towards individuals experiencing their “first break” episode of psychosis. Priority is given to clients in the Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) Program. When the client is stable, they may be transitioned directly from an acute care setting. Goals of the program include supporting clients in accepting and managing their diagnosis/illness and transitioning them to a more independent housing setting. Clients are encouraged to work with staff in developing/achieving their recovery goals.

Adanac House is licensed under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act.See inspection reportsabout this facility.

Financial support:

Many people 64 years and under receive Persons with Disability (PWD) income from the BC Ministry of Social Development. If this applies to clients at Adanac House, the program per diem (daily fee) will be arranged to be paid directly by the Ministry.

Eligible clients 65 years or older who receive federal benefits (e.g. Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Supplements (GIS) are responsible to make the per diem payments). At the request of their legal representative (e.g. Power of Attorney or Public Guardian and Trustee) clients can get assistance to manage and administer their finances.

Financial support for medical equipment and supplies is guided by disability benefits, Pharmacare coverage, and Island Health policies.

Length of stay:

The average length of stay is approximately one year. If care needs or individual behavior go beyond what one staff member can manage safely, a referral to a higher level of care may be necessary. Likewise, if a client no longer needs 24 hour staff support a referral to a lower level of care will be made.
