Police in Victoria are investigating claims of sexual assaults in a seniors care facility. 

The police investigation is focused on a facility on Hillside Avenue that deals with seniors and those who need critical care.

CTV News first learned of allegations that centre around either Aberdeen Critical Care Hospital or the Hillside Seniors Health Centre.

The two care facilities are located directly next to each other and both are run by Island Health.

The allegations suggest up to eight residents may have been sexually assaulted by a staff member.
