Who We Are
The Health Care Needs Home Care Campaign is made up of and supported by a broad collective of seniors-serving organizations representing the interests of older adults across British Columbia. Collectively, our organizations directly serve more than 400,000 senior members and supporters.
Our Key Initiatives
We are advocating for systemic changes that prioritize home care and ensure every BCÂ senior has access to compassionate, dignified support.
Home Care Funding Reform
BC needs to eliminate the co-payment (fee-based) model for seniors home support that unfairly punishes middle-income earners, having to make hard choices between food, housing, medications and medical supports, and care.
Professional Standards
Advocating for the establishment of clear professional standards for home care providers to ensure consistent quality and safety across all regions.
Community Access Expansion
We believe that geographic location should never be a barrier to receiving essential support.
Why home support matters
We believe that home support is not just a service, but a fundamental right that supports our healthcare system and the dignity of every individual.
90%
of BC seniors wish to receive care in their own homes, aging in place with dignity and support.
Up to 100k+
BC seniors currently have no access to home care that need it because of the cost of the co-payment fee charged to them.
1.1M
more than 1.1 million seniors live in BC today. That will grow to over 1.5M by 2035.
