Kopernik Lodge is an 88 bed, two story facility, caring for Complex Care residents. We have an 18 bed secured Special Care Unit for Residents with advanced Dementia who require additional safety measures to maintain quality of life. We offer three Private Pay Beds for people already waitlisted for a government-funded bed, that would otherwise have to be placed in a different facility to wait. Our General Care Unit is also secure for our residents with the “Wander-Guard” system providing a greater mobility range with safety.
