CONNECT Saanich Peninsula
CONNECT Saanich Peninsula is scheduled to open in the summer of 2025 in partnership with Island Health. It will be located on the traditional land of the SȾÁUTW̱ Tsawout First Nation and will feature a thoughtfully renovated motel designed to include four individual homes within. Each home is planned to contain six or seven bedrooms, with the capacity to support up to 26 people at any one time. The future coaching resource team will include healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech-language pathology, recreation therapy, and psychology.

Strategically Located CONNECT Homes on Vancouver Island
CONNECT Saanich Peninsula will primarily serve the South Island. Just steps away from sweeping ocean views and the neighbouring Gulf Islands, the natural surroundings will make this location a beautiful and peaceful place for individuals to begin redesigning their lives. Situated on the land of the SȾÁUTW̱ First Nation and close to the BC Ferries terminal, Victoria International Airport, and a short drive from Victoria, Sidney, Saanich, and Saanichton — this location will offer plenty to explore right outside its doors.

“You can see how CONNECT’s Life Redesign Model is so effective. In the hospital, we were lucky if my husband was sitting up for four hours a day, and if he wasn’t sitting up, he was in bed. But in CONNECT, he works with the coaches and otherwise hangs out in the kitchen. I can tell he’s interested.”

“Such a terrific step in my rehabilitation! The homes are very comfortable with all the amenities. There is an opportunity to practice independence and they encourage the client to develop the skills and mentality to return to independent living. A must on the road to recovery!”

“We are so grateful for everything CONNECT did for our son. They are such a great group of people, he will remember them for the rest of his life. They encouraged him to be himself and do whatever he wanted, a nice, relaxed atmosphere in the house.”
