Long term care

Long-term care homes provide care and support based on a person’s care needs in a supportive, home-like and secure environment.

Long-term care is available to adults who can no longer care for themselves, or be cared for in their current home or situation.

It is for people whose care needs are complex, who are struggling to manage their health and do everyday activities, and who need access to 24-hour supervision.

There are over 80 publicly-funded care homes within Fraser Health. Learn more about when is the right time to move to long-term care, what it provides, how to choose and apply to a home and how to prepare for a move.
