Hirst House

A welcoming garden, smiling support team and cookies baking in the oven are all part of the inviting picture of Hirst House in Parksville.

Hirst House provides stabilization beds to clients from Oceanside and surrounding communities – people who may have experienced a mental health or substance use crisis and need a place to recover and be cared for. Supported by a caring in-house team, the Oceanside Integrated Community Primary Care Team assesses and refers clients to Hirst House and provides clinical support and case management.

Hirst House is staffed 24/7 to ensure the safety and security of each person. Residents have their own private room and enjoy home cooked meals, empathic support, and a secure drug-free environment. Case managers from Oceanside Health Centre ensure that necessary clinical resources are made available to each resident.
