The Columbia House Healing Garden helps our vulnerable residents enjoy the peace of nature, and brings sunshine into their lives.
Improving the lives of residents with the tranquility of nature
The Columbia House Enhancement Society aims to redefine the perception of nursing homes with the Healing Garden, located adjacent to Columbia House. The garden is designed to offer a warm and compassionate environment, particularly during the summer months. Accessible and therapeutic, it encourages residents, families, staff, and the community to spend at least one hour per day outdoors. With the support of Interior Health and generous donors, the 2-acre Healing Garden has become a reality, providing a stunning and functional space for relaxation and sensory stimulation.
Many patients feel vulnerable, frightened and worried. The Healing Garden goes a long way in mitigating those fears and conditions.

Who We Are
We are the Columbia House, a 35 bed Long Term Care Facility located in Invermere, BC, administered by Interior Health, and fondly known as COHO within the community.
COHO provides long term care for disabled residents, the frail elderly, and for seniors unable to look after themselves, for residents of the Columbia Valley between Cranbrook and Golden.
The care is not limited to the elderly but also includes younger members of our society who have neuromuscular conditions, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Parkinson’s, head trauma, early onset Alzheimer’s, cerebral palsy, stroke and aneurisms. COHO also provides beds dedicated to respite and palliative care.
