Tell us your situation
You don't need to know what kind of care fits before you begin. We ask plain-language questions about where you're looking, the support you need, how soon you need help, and how the care will be paid for.

Clear help understanding your options.
Private Care BC is an independent private-pay service, not a government program or health-authority service. We do not sell your contact details into a bulk contact marketplace, and residences cannot pay to change which facts your family sees.
How it works
02
We check what matters
If one detail is still needed, a care concierge sends one short email with no more than two final questions. Then we check which places have current availability and say they support the major needs you shared.
03
Your shortlist arrives by email
We email a short list of places to consider. No phone call is required. You choose whether Private Care BC contacts a selected residence for the next step.
Understand the main care settings
Not sure which type applies?
Not sure which type of care applies? These short explainers help you find your footing: a starting point, not a substitute for a proper care assessment.
Short explainerExplore Assisted living
Assisted Living
Housing with daily support, such as meals, bathing, medications, and scheduled check-ins. It may work when independence is still possible but regular help is needed.
Often considered when: Daily routines need support, but 24-hour nursing care may not be the first path.
Check carefully: Support limits, medication help, mobility changes, costs, and availability.
Short explainerExplore Retirement community
Retirement Communities
A hospitality-focused setting for seniors who manage most daily activities and want meals, housekeeping, activities, connection, or optional supports nearby.
Often considered when: The priority is simpler living, meals, social connection, and light optional support.
Check carefully: Included services, optional care costs, suite availability, and what happens if needs increase.
Short explainerExplore Care home or complex care
Private Care Homes & Complex Care
For heavier or fast-changing needs, where staffing, admission, cost, and scope of care all deserve a close look.
Often considered when: Needs are heavier, changing quickly, or difficult to support at home.
Check carefully: Oversight, staffing model, transfer support, nursing involvement, fees, and admission timing.
Once you have a sense of what might work, tell us your situation. We'll check availability, costs, and the care on offer around what your family needs.
Tell us your situationWhy families trust us
Built to earn your family's trust.
Free for families
Families can use Private Care BC without paying a fee, and payment does not affect which providers we discuss first.
Real information, checked directly
We confirm availability, costs, and what each place can provide directly with the residence, so what you see is real, not guesswork.
Human review when it matters
When a situation is sensitive, such as safety, complex needs, budget, or timing, a care concierge reviews it before anything is sent.
You stay in control
Look around, ask us to check selected places, or use what you learn without sending your details to a residence.
We verify. You decide.
We help you understand your options, narrow things down, and take a careful look at the private-pay places worth your time, with clarity and real care.
Private Care BC is not a clinical assessment service and does not replace health-authority assessment, medical advice, legal advice, or financial advice. Operators make their own admission and availability decisions.
