Retirement homes in Coquitlam and the rest of BC fall under the auspices of the BC Seniors Living Association (BCSLA). The BCSLA provides membership to senior homes committed to choice, innovation, and excellence in senior living.
In Coquitlam, assisted living facilities provide help with activities of daily living (ADL’s). In addition, recreational opportunities, assistance with medication, mobility and transport are also provided. The atmosphere in an assisted living facility is more relaxed than a nursing home and it is ideally suited to those who can still control their daily activities to some extent.

Moving to Coquitlam from out of the area
Coquitlam, about 30 km east of Vancouver, sits at the confluence of the Fraser River and the Pitt River. It is bordered by Port Coquitlam on the south. The Coquitlam River borders it on the west, and the cities of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows lie across the Pitt River from both Coquitlams. Those who already live there know the beauty of the area, but if you are looking at retiring in Coquitlam from out of the province you are in for a treat.
