The HomeAway accommodation service was created by the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund to fulfill an unmet need.
The Centre provides 8 short-term accommodations—a home away from home, for British Columbians needing to travel to Vancouver under emergency circumstances for medical treatment due to burn and major trauma injuries, patients in discharge transition or returning for follow up treatment. The suites include a kitchenette and there is also a communal full service family kitchen for meal preparation. Guests will find other comforts of home provided such as a family living room, library/study and outdoor decks. Four suites have wheel-in shower.
People needing treatment for burns or related injuries, as well as firefighters needing any type of medical care, are prioritized. However, people and families needing to be in Vancouver for other types of medical treatment may be accommodated if there is space.
