October 15, 2024 - Navigating Home Care & Senior Housing, BCCRN Provincial Webinar

Date/Time: October 15, 2024 10:30am - 12pm PST

Location: Zoom, register here.

The legal framework governing home and residential care for older adults is complex and often confusing. As BC’s senior population is grows, demands for home and residential care are increasing every year and the needs of those in long-term care are becoming more complex. It is important for older adults and their advocates to be well informed about the rights of seniors receiving care and strategies for resolving personal and health care problems that may arise.

Join us in a Provincial Learning Event hosted by the BC Association of Community Response Networks to learn about the types of personal care and health care that are available to older adults in British Columbia, as well as some key laws that govern home and residential care services, including what people have a right to expect and what service providers must do and provide. This learning event will be useful for family members, designated decision-makers, and advocates who are supporting and assisting older adults, in addition to older adults seeking or receiving personal and health care services either at home or in residential care.

Information shared in this presentation is drawn from “Navigating Home Care and Senior Housing: An Advocacy Guide”, a guide recently published by Seniors First BC on Clicklaw’s Wikibooks. Created by staff lawyers and researchers from Seniors First BC’s legal programs, this guide takes a client-centered, advocacy perspective to describe and understand the common legal matters affecting people who receive home and residential care.
