Repatriation brings out the best in IH staff & residents

September 10, 2024
A "Welcome Home" banner greets residents upon their return to The Pavilion in New Denver.

Evacuations and repatriations—returning people to their long-term care homes—are complex and multi-faceted processes that take dedication, compassion and the teamwork of many different people and partners to succeed.

In part two of our two-part story on evacuations and repatriations, we highlight some of the stories of those who returned to their long-term care homes, and those who helped get them there safely.

Residents who were evacuated returned to Lillooet (Aug. 9), Ashcroft (Aug. 10) and New Denver (Aug. 15). These residents showed resilience during the evacuation and during their time away, while IH staff demonstrated their commitment to compassionate care.
