About Us:

The Health and Home Care Society of BC (Care BC) is an independent and BC-based not-for-profit organization. Since 1898, we have taken care of British Columbians through healthcare initiatives tailored to the communities we serve. We continue this tradition of caring today with preventive and supportive health services that keep people healthy and in the comfort of their own homes and communities.

Mission and Vision:

Mission: To provide health promotion and supportive care services to communities in British Columbia.

Vision:  A future where seniors live independently in their own homes.

Programs:

Our charitable programs focus on supporting seniors, caregivers and other people at risk of isolation:

Meals on Wheels: Since 1967, our Meals on Wheels program has provided hot, nutritious meals and warm, friendly visits to people throughout Vancouver and Richmond. The program, which began with a handful of meals delivered in Kitsilano, now delivers more than 400 meals every weekday. Our program also includes one of Canada's first Chinese Meals on Wheels services, launched in 1996 to provide authentic Asian cuisine and Chinese-speaking volunteers for the region's changing population.

Family Respite Centre: Our Family Respite Centre is the first program of its kind in Canada. In 1979, we started an Adult Day Program for people with Alzheimer's disease, dementia and other mental and physical frailties. In 2000, we added an Overnight Respite Program to our services when we opened our Family Respite Centre, the only program of its kind for caregivers who urgently need a rest from their responsibilities.

Community Integration Project: The Community Integration Project provides support services and two specially outfitted apartments at St. George's Place in Vancouver to help people make the transition from rehabilitation to life in the community.
