    Is There a Waitlist for Assisted Living in British Columbia?

    In some areas—particularly larger urban centres—assisted living residences may have waitlists due to high demand. That’s why it’s a good idea to ask about availability and waitlist policies early in your search. Starting the process ahead of time can help ensure a smoother transition when you or your loved one is ready to move.

    If there’s a bit of a wait, some Chartwell residences may offer short-term solutions like respite stays, giving you a chance to get familiar with the community and receive support in the meantime.
