BC Subsidized Care
Government funding for Assisted Living and Long Term Care
Many of Park Place's assisted and long term care residences include government-subsidized beds, where care and accommodation is partially funded by the Health Authority and partially paid for by the resident. To qualify, seniors must complete an assessment and are then placed on a wait list for available space. Space is assigned, so although you may indicate a preference, the initial placement will be based on first-available-space. Given the long waiting list, turn-around is often quick; typically, within 48 hours.
How to apply
Contact your local Health Authority to apply:
