Assisted Living Registry
In British Columbia, assisted living services are regulated under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act (the act).
Assisted living services include housing, hospitality services and one or two personal assistance services, such as regular assistance with activities of daily living, medication services, or psychosocial supports (referred to as prescribed services). Both publicly subsidized and private-pay assisted living residences that meet the definition of an assisted living residence under the act, are required to be registered with the provincial assisted living registrar.
