If a patient or their family does not want to go to a new facility outside the Lower Mainland, they will not be forced to go. However, Riverview is closing and all its beds are to be transferred to new facilities. While patients may choose not to go to one of the new facilities opening outside of the Lower Mainland, they may in time be placed in one of the new facilities opening in the Fraser or Vancouver Coastal health authorities.
