Invest in a new Hospital at Home programme so patients can get safe care while in the comfort of their homes, and taking pressure off hospitals. It will act as a blueprint for expanding e-health and tele-health services more broadly, so people can get virtual visits from doctors and nurses at home.

— From Working for You.

We'll expand publicly funded home care to provide better care and help with daily living - bathing, dressing, meal preparation and more - so that people can stay in their own homes for as long as is safely possible. It will also improve continuity of care with seniors receiving visits from a more consistent group of care aides.

BC Liberals
  • Implement a tax credit for seniors of up to $7,000/year for up to $20,0000 of homecare, housekeeping, and home repairs.
  • Expand programmes to assist seniors and people with disabilities with home renos.
  • Reinstate the Home Adaptions for Independence grant programme.
We don't have any BC Greens policies on Homecare.
