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.

Find the right private senior care for your family in BC.
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.
Free for familiesNo bulk contact marketplaceFamily-controlled introductions
Help understanding options, not a sales path dressed as guidance.
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 verify
We do the calling. We check with each place directly to confirm what's actually open right now — what it costs, what's included, and the level of care they can provide. And when things are delicate — safety, complex needs, budget, or timing — a care concierge looks it over personally before anything goes out.
03
You decide
You decide — always. Look around at your own pace, ask Private Care BC to check selected places, or just use what you've learned to take the next step yourself.
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.

Real information, checked directly
We confirm availability, costs, and what each place can provide directly with them — so what you see is real, not guesswork.
Human review when it matters
When a situation is sensitive — 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.
Tell us your situation, and we'll check what's available, what it costs, and the care on offer around what your family needs.
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.
