I recently read some good information about considerations with Home Care in British Columbia by the Greater Vancouver Community Services Society in the Vancouver Sun written by Ron McLeod. If you have questions you can contact him at 604.737.4900.

At the same time, in the Vancouver Sun, the BC Ombudsman says that seniors deserve a bill of rights. The Ombudsman also said that it is a complex system and it is confusing for seniors. For more detail please see the Ombudsman's Report.

The Vancouver Sun also has a database with the ratings of facilities.
