Subject

Independent living is intended for functionally independent people who are capable of directing their own lives. These residents choose to be free of their home management duties and prefer the convenience of living in a social atmosphere that provides certain services and security. Residents direct their own lives, come and go as they please and participate in activities of their choosing within their community.

Assisted living is the combination of housing, hospitality services and one or two personal assistance services, such as regular assistance with activities of daily living or medication services (referred to in Community Care and Assisted Living Act as prescribed services). Assisted living is intended for people who are able to make the range of decisions that allow them to live in a supportive, semi-independent environment.

Crisis

The the biggest crisis is they don’t have enough spaces for all of our community. And the transition process when the move, trying to get to know the new environment, the new people the new routine.

Finances are always a struggle for some of our seniors in town. But they do have alternative options to offer through other partners in town, maybe lower income of BC housing if they are unable to move into their community.
