Long-term care homes provide 24-hour professional care and supervision to adults in a supportive and secure environment. The services are available to people with complex care needs and physical and/or mental health conditions who cannot live safely and independently at home.

Considering long-term care

We believe the best quality of life is achieved by remaining in one’s own home environment for as long as possible. There are several health care and service options available in your home and community.     

Learn more about supports available at home.   

Long-term care is for adults with complex health care needs requiring 24-hour professional care due to physical disability, or mental or behavioural conditions, including brain injuries or dementia. Ultimately, access to long-term care services is based on a person’s assessed need and risk.

Getting started

Your first step is to contact your closest home and community care access line (also known as Central Intake). You will receive an assessment to determine whether you need support at home, a supportive living arrangement or placement in a long-term care home.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is there a cost for long-term care?

    Publicly subsidized long-term care costs a monthly fee based on 80% of your after-tax income, with set minimum and maximum rates.

    As long-term care is considered your home, you may be required to pay additional fees for services or items you would pay for living on your own. For example, there may be additional fees for things like equipment or aids, optional activities, and hairdressing services. You will be told about all fees before you move in.

  • If I am placed in an interim care home, how can I transfer to a preferred home?

    Many people need to move into the first available long-term care home which may not be your preferred location. When this happens, you will remain on the waitlists for your preferred care homes.  When an appropriate vacancy comes up at your preferred care home, you can accept the transfer, or you may decide that you want to stay where you are. 

    You may change your mind anytime if you want to stay at your current home. 

  • What is the consent process?

    Consent is required for admissions to long-term care homes. If an adult is not capable of providing consent, someone acting on their behalf will be asked to consent to a specific care home. Please visit the Ministry of Health website or speak with your health care provider for more information.  

  • Who operates each long-term care home?

    Homes fall into three categories:

    1. Homes that are owned and operated by a Health Authority (Vancouver Coastal Health or Providence Health Care). All rooms are publicly subsidized.
    2. Homes that are operated by providers that have contracts with VCH. These homes have publicly subsidized rooms. 
    3. Homes that are fully private and not connected with VCH. No rooms are publicly subsidized.
