Who is eligible to use your service?

The Government of BC, through the Ministry of Health, provides funding to United Way British Columbia – working with communities in BC’s Interior, Lower Mainland and Central & Northern Vancouver Island, to manage the Better at Home program across BC. Individual community organizations will also accept donations, raise funds, and encourage volunteer participation. Older adults who receive Better at Home services may pay a fee based on their income. Some services may be free. These fees-for-service are fed back into the local program in order to serve more seniors.
