Assisted living provides a higher level of support and services than independent living while still promoting independence and choice. Independent living focuses on accommodation and hospitality services. Assisted Living has the same focus but also provides access to additional support services to assist with activities such as bathing, dressing, or taking medications. By law, in order to carry the Assisted Living designation, residences must be registered with the provincial government. In BC, this is the Assisted Living Registrar’s Office.
The Weinberg Residence is a private residence offering two residency options: Assisted Living and Multi-Level Care (24-hour care). The Louis Brier is a Vancouver Coastal Health publicly funded long-term care facility providing 24-hour care.
An assessment would need to be completed by a Vancouver Coastal Health Case Manager to determine eligibility and process into publicly funded residential care.
