Things to consider concerning retirement homes in British Columbia:
There is no government regulation of BC retirement homes or residences in any of the provinces in fact, so you are urged to inspect the home closely, get feedback from people who live and work in the home and consider all aspects of your decision. Consider the following list of things to look for.

  • It’s best to look before you need a retirement home. This way there is lots of time to discuss your options without any unnecessary panic or urgency. Read more about how families discuss retirement homes.
  • Priortize your needs and wants. Make the process much like any home purchase.
  • Check out the retirement home’s kitchen and cafeteria.
  • Check the menu for quality, variety and any other concerns.
  • Visit several residences then take a second or even third look before you choose.
  • Visit it at different times of the day to see how the environment changes.
  • Get a schedule of recreational activities and find out which meet your needs. Compare this across several different homes.
  • Use our search engine to find a home with the exact features you want.
  • Poke into the corners and get off the beaten path. Check stairwells for cleanliness. Check all the corners of the grounds to see what is there and how well maintained everything is.
  • Ask the retirement home staff lots of questions. As many as you can.
  • Speak to residents and ask them how they like the place and what it is they like about the place. Be sure to ask them how well they like the staff.
  • Be sure to request references from professional organizations, patrons, children of patrons and others.
