Over the past 18 months, several temporary supplemental funding streams for long-term care and assisted living have been reduced or withdrawn. To understand the scale and operational impact of these changes, BCCPA is collecting site-level financial data from providers across the province.
We’re asking our long-term care and assisted living members to complete a short Excel template that records the supplemental funding your site(s) received in fiscal year 2023/24 (April 1, 2023 – March 31, 2024). We are also asking for any operational impacts you expect as a result of funding changes, as well as any anticipated fiscal deficits in future years. This evidence will strengthen our call for fair, predictable, and sustainable funding.
How to participate
- Download the template here.
- Complete one worksheet per site (submit a separate file or sheet for each care community that you operate).
- Return the completed file to policy@bccare.ca by December 15, 2025.
Why this matters
The data you provide will allow us to:
- Quantify the total dollar value of lost supplemental funding across the sector.
- Identify likely operational consequences (e.g., admissions limits, bed closures, staffing impacts).
- Produce evidence-based recommendations to the government and health authorities for sustainable funding models.
Quick FAQ
Q: Why FY 2023/24?
A: FY 2023/24 is the last fiscal year in which the full complement of the supplemental funding streams we’re tracking was in place — using it gives us a consistent baseline.
Q: What if my funding was received in a different fiscal year but applied to 2023/24?
A: Please include any funding that was applied to FY 2023/24, even if the money was received earlier or later.
Q: Will individual site data be shared publicly?
A: No. Individual submissions will be treated confidentially and reported only in an aggregated form. If you have concerns about confidentiality, contact us.
