The Hamlets at Duncan is an Independent Living, Assisted Living and Long-Term Care residence thoughtfully designed to reflect the natural beauty of the Cowichan Valley. Inspired by nearby Somenos Marsh, our architecture and landscaping bring a sense of the outdoors in. Each of our buildings and Hamlets is named with the support of the Cowichan First Nations, reflecting the strong cultural ties we are proud to honour.
