Care guide
Assisted Living — housing with daily support, such as meals, bathing, medications, and scheduled check-ins — has regulatory context and service boundaries that matter in BC.
Assisted living in BC is not the same as 24/7 nursing care or Long-Term Care — 24-hour nursing care, primarily for people with complex medical or cognitive needs. Operators make their own admission decisions, and current support boundaries must be confirmed with the residence.
Assisted living may be worth checking when someone needs help with daily routines such as meals, bathing, dressing, mobility reminders, or medication support, while still being able to live safely in that setting.
Families should ask how the residence handles mobility changes, medication support, memory concerns, nighttime needs, falls, and transitions if support needs increase.
The intake questions organize the care and safety details first, then Private Care BC can help identify which residences need direct confirmation before any introduction.
Tell us what's happening, and Private Care BC can help organize what still needs to be checked before any residence is contacted on your behalf.
