** About Us **
Established 30 years ago, the BC Care Providers Association (BCCPA) represents more than 130 members who are responsible for more than one-third of all residential seniors' care beds across the province (more than 10,000).
The BCCPA membership represents the full continuum of care, including
* long term care
* Home support
* Licensed private pay
* Congregate & Assisted Living
In addition to providing increasingly complex care to a rapidly aging population, our members employ more than 7,000 staff and care for an average of 4,000 home care clients each year. BCCPA members have made more than $1.4 billion in capital investment in the province and many members have been in operation for over 20 years.
The Association supports members by
* Advocating on industry issues such as appropriate legislation, policy and
funding.
* promoting quality care through the adoption of recognized standards.
* Recognizing members as providers of high quality, cost effective care and
services.
* Serving as a credible voice on behalf of the care sector.
* Facilitating timely communications and networking opportunities.
* Responding effectively to important issues affecting our care sector.
