Service Provider members are made up of senior care providers under the following categories:
- Long-Term Care
- Assisted Living
- Independent Living*
*For the purposes of membership, independent living refers to seniors’ housing where hospitality services are provided, such as meals, housekeeping, laundry and recreation activities. This definition does not refer to suites where the resident receives assisted living or care services delivered by the operator, nor does it include housing without hospitality services.
Membership benefits include exclusive access to the following:
- Events, workshops and networking opportunities, such as the Association’s Annual Conference, Care To Chat and many more;
- Your voice in public advocacy and government decisions and having a “seat at the table” when shaping public policy;
- Unparalleled media and communications support;
- Access to BCCPA’s Jobs Board;
- Timely updates on emerging issues important to our members through regular BCCPA communications, access to member support, and resources;
Annual membership fees are calculated by the number of hours/beds/suites/units operated by the provider:
- Annual Membership Fee (Long-Term Care): $36/bed/year
- Annual Membership Fee (Assisted Living): $28/suite/year
- Annual Membership Fee (Independent Living): $23/suite/year
