Office
of the Assisted Living Registrar
British Columbia is the first province in Canada to regulate
assisted living residences. An assisted living Registrar has
been appointed under the Act to protect the health and safety
of seniors and people with disabilities who are living in assisted
living residences.
All public and private assisted living residences are required
to be registered with the office of the assisted living Registrar
by September 30, 2004 under new
legislation (PDF 51KB) that came into force on May 14, 2004.
Registration packages were
sent out on July 19, 2004 and are due at the Registrar's
office by Sept. 3, 2004. If you have not
received a registration package by August 2, 2004,
please contact the Registrar.

This web site contains information on the new
legislation and the newly opened Office
of the Assisted Living Registrar. It tells you how to contact
the Registrar if you have a concern about an assisted living
residence. The site also contains up to date information about
a consultation process that was completed in December 2003
on the assisted
living framework, health
and safety standards and complaint
resolution process. The Registrar is working with stakeholders
to finalize the health and safety standards and registration process
for assisted living residences for seniors and people with
disabilities.
This site has been updated to reflect the proclamation of the Community
Care and Assisted Living Act on May 14, 2004.
