Who we are
The Ahmon Group has its origins in 1977 when Bochim Ahmon and his wife Allan purchased a personal care facility in White Rock. In 1995 their son Michael and his wife Betty took over the facility.
Michael and Betty soon began acquiring other intermediate care facilities in the local area. Together with Michael’s brother, Kevin and his wife Betty BY, the Ahmon Group became owner / operators of a number intermediate care facilities, all located in the Surrey / White Rock area.
At that stage, The Group provided residential care services for a total of 155 residents, all funded by the Fraser Health Authority.
The Ahmon Group has carefully expanded to become a leading service provider in BC. The Ahmon Group currently consists of five facilities: Fleetwood Place, Laurel Place and Morgan Place in Surrey; Stanford Place in Parksville and Selkirk Place in Victoria.
