Expand the Better at Home programme to provide chores around seniors houses, social meals, more transportation options, and peer support
"Expanding the Better at Home program so more seniors get the support they need to remain in their homes as they age – while easing demand on long-term care homes. We’re now up to 93 community-based Better at Home programs across BC, providing chores around the house that keep seniors safe and happy. Our new investments expand the services this program offers, including social meals, more transportation options, and peer support." — An Action Plan for You, retrieved 2024-10-07

Commit $324M over three years to programmes that help seniors live in their homes for longer
"We’re doing this by committing $324 million over three years to boost programs that help seniors thrive in their homes and communities, instead of moving into care.
This funding will hire more nurses, physiotherapists, health care assistants and home support workers – the people that help keep seniors happy, healthy and safe at home."
