Seniors' Guide
Housing - Independent Living BC

Independent Living BC (ILBC) offers a middle option for seniors who need some assistance but do not want or need 24-hour residential care. ILBC tenants receive accommodation, hospitality services, including meals, housekeeping, recreational opportunities and 24-hour response, and personal care services including assistance with grooming, mobility and medications.

Seniors pay 70 per cent of their after tax income for ILBC assisted living units.

You may be eligible for ILBC if you need additional support to continue to live independently.

To determine if you are eligible for ILBC, contact your local health authority. The Health Authorities section of this guide provides further information. A health authority case manager will work with you to find out whether assisted living is the best option for you. For information about Assisted Living, see the Home and Community Care section under Health Services.
