Long-term care jobs
Imagine making a difference in the lives of clients who are no longer able to care for themselves or by a relative in their own home and who need 24-hour professional care and supervision. Your role as a long-term care health care professional will give you an opportunity to become part of a team that cares for the “whole” person in an extended care facility.
Join the Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) team working in long-term care. People often need long-term care when they have a serious, ongoing health condition or disability. The need for long-term care can arise suddenly, such as after a heart attack or stroke. Most often it develops gradually, as people get older and frailer or as an illness or disability gets worse. The most common type of long-term care is personal care—help with everyday activities, also called “activities of daily living” (ADL). These activities include bathing, dressing, eating, and moving around.
