About this location/unit:
Deni House provides excellent long-term care in a home-like environment overlooking the City of Williams Lake in the heart of the Cariboo. We are located adjacent to Cariboo Memorial Hospital. The name “Deni House” was chosen for its significance to the Cariboo. Deni is the Chilcotin word meaning “People” or “All the People.” The word “House” was chosen due to historical significance from the days of the Cariboo Gold Rush and the way stations along the gold rush trail used as places of refuge and rest for weary people. Deni House means “A House for Our People.” Deni House is home to 19 permanent clients and includes 9 short-stay beds offering respite, convalescent and palliative care.
Nestled in the heart of British Columbia's picturesque Cariboo Chilcotin region, Williams Lake beckons with its irresistible blend of natural beauty, outdoor adventures, and vibrant community spirit. Surrounded by lush forests, shimmering lakes, and majestic mountains, this charming city offers a haven for outdoor enthusiasts year-round, boasting world-class fishing, hiking and mountain biking networks, and alpine skiing opportunities at the nearby Mount Timothy Recreational Resort.
Beyond its stunning landscapes, Williams Lake thrives with a welcoming atmosphere and a rich cultural scene, featuring local festivals, farmers' markets, and art galleries that celebrate its diverse heritage. The community buzzes with enthusiasm every Canada Day weekend, as the annual Williams Lake Stampede kicks off, bringing residents and a mass of visitors together for a weekend celebrating the wildest show west of the rocks.
With a strong economy supported by forestry, tourism, and ranching, coupled with affordable housing and an excellent school system, Williams Lake stands as an ideal destination for those seeking a balanced lifestyle where community and adventure converge.
