A supportive seniors housing facility in Kelowna is being sold by owner Abbeyfield Canada to make way for a new six-storey, 51-unit apartment development.

The decision to sell was revealed in a press release issued on Dec. 20, by Joe McReynolds, president of Abbeyfield Canada, acknowledging that selling the property “is very unsettling for the residents and staff.”

“Abbeyfield Houses exist to ensure older adults who arse alone and lonely can continue to live an independent life in an affordable and supportive environment,” stated McReynolds.
