Home Care FAQ for Families in BC  

Even if this is your first time exploring home care, it helps to know your options in BC. Here are the questions most families ask:

1. What is private home care in BC?
Private home care is paid in-home support that helps your loved one with daily tasks, companionship, and safety. It is fast, flexible, and consistent, allowing seniors to stay comfortable and independent at home.

2. How is private care different from public care?
Public care may have limited hours and different caregivers each day. Private home care gives your loved one familiar caregivers, flexible schedules, and a plan that fits their needs. Many families use both public and private care together.

3. How do I know if my parent needs home care?
Some signs that it might be time for support include:

• Difficulty with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, or eating meals

• Frequent falls or other safety concerns

• Memory changes or confusion, social isolation or loneliness

• Caregiver stress or burnout

A home care consultation can help you decide what support is right.

4. Can home care help seniors stay independent?
Yes. With the right help, seniors can remain at home safely, maintain their routines, and enjoy a higher quality of life while you feel confident that they are well cared for.

5. Is home care regulated in BC?
Yes. Caregivers must be BC-registered Health Care Assistants, and reputable agencies like Nest follow all provincial standards for screening, training, and professional care.

6. Does insurance cover home care in BC?
Some extended health benefits or long-term care insurance may cover part of the cost. Coverage varies, so check your plan carefully.

Some helpful questions are:

•  How are caregivers screened and trained?

•  How are caregivers matched to my loved one?

•  What happens if a caregiver isn’t a good fit?

•  How are emergencies handled?
