Summerland Seniors Village is the fourth Retirement Concepts facility in B.C. to be placed under government management in the past six months.

Retirement Concepts is now owned by a Chinese holding company, making accountability more difficult, the HEU said.

Outside administrators have been appointed to run other Retirement Concepts care homes in Nanaimo, Comox and Victoria.

As a result of improvements, Interior Health has removed its administrator which has been overseeing the operation 7 days a week since January 25th.
