Provincial Learning Event: Navigating Home Care & Seniors Housing - October 15, 2024 11:30 am - 1:00 pm MT

cranbrookagefriendly




The legal framework governing home and residential care for older adults is complex and often confusing.

Join us to learn about the types of personal care and health care that are available to older adults in BC, as well as some key laws that govern home and residential care services, including what people have a right to expect and what service providers must do and provide. This learning event will be useful for family members, designated decision-makers, and advocates who are supporting and assisting older adults, in addition to older adults seeking or receiving personal and health care services either at home or in residential care. Information shared in this presentation is drawn from “Navigating Home Care and Senior Housing: An Advocacy Guide”, a guide recently created by staff lawyers and researchers from Seniors First BC’s legal programs.


Speakers:


This session is presented by Sara Pon, Lawyer and Legal Researcher from Seniors First BC, who previously presented “Financial Abuse: Protect What’s Yours”, as a part of the BC CRN Provincial Learning Events. Seniors First BC is a charitable, non-profit society that provides information, legal advocacy, support, and referrals to older adults across BC with issues affecting their well-being or rights, as well as concerned third parties. Services are delivered through its Seniors Abuse & Information Line, Victim Services, Public Education & Outreach Program, Elder Law Clinic, Legal Advocacy Program, and Advance Planning Clinics.
