Independent living for high-lesion quadriplegics.
A formal evaluation of the Creekview project has been completed by the B.C. provincial government and CPA. This evaluation will determine the costs/benefits of Creekview as a model for future moves of severely disabled persons into the community. The evaluation looked at several issues such as operating costs, health status of residents at the time of relocation and one year later, quality of attendant staff, standards of care and general level of services provided. Pearson Hospital continues to play a role in the support of the Creekview project.
